No More Autopilot, Choose Joy!

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful Educators and Friends!!! Sometimes we don’t pay attention to how we feel. Well if you’re like me, sometimes I just move through the day on autopilot. Not really sad, not really angry, not really happy, not really excited; just here. Doing this has not created my best life! Doing this has not  created a vibrant classroom either. Maybe that’s why we get so angry at students who step outside of our expectations; they make us turn off autopilot. Well starting now I will no longer live on autopilot! I will recognize how I feel, and choose Joy!

Daily Affirmations: Today is and Amazing Day! I feel good! I feel alive! I love myself! I choose joy! I enjoy doing what I do! I am excited to go to work! My life is well balanced! I live with ease! Life is Easy! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Thanks for the Opportunities!

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful  Beautiful Educators and Friends!!!!! Every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow! So when I have a bad experience, I have to think how did I attract this situation to myself? I can no longer leave things to just chance. Either I have attracted bad behavior in my students because I have done it to someone else and it is coming back to me. Or  I feel I deserve that behavior. The only thing that will change it, is if I learn from the experience. Maybe in certain instances, I could be more accepting of my students and allow them more time to move and grow through their own experiences. Whatever it is, I thank God for the opportunity to learn and grow!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! My Classroom is a Peaceful Haven. My mind is free and open to all learning experiences. I choose joy! I choose love! I choose peace! Teaching is fun, it’s easy, it’s wonderful, it’s a positive experience! I love Teaching! My students respect and love me because I respect and love myself! The possibilities are endless! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Today, I turn my focus on Me!

Good Morning Most Powerful Educators and Friends! Today I choose to be, as Marianne Williamson says, a conduit of love. So  rather than talk about how my students need to change to make me happy and what my coworkers should do so I can be happy, I choose to just be happy! Happiness and joy is a choice and we have to choose it everyday! Once I choose Joy, I can spread it to others!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I choose Joy and Happiness! I love and approve of myself! The same love I give myself, I spread to my students! I am excited about life! I am moving in the best direction at all times! I easily flow with life. My thoughts are my best friend! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

All We Need Is Love!

Good Morning Most Wonderful and Awesome Educators and Friends!!!! Our children are coming back to school! We don’t know what they had to endure while they were away from us, so let them come back to find love! The love and understanding they find in our classroom may be the most consistent thing in their life. Let’s sprinkle love, joy, and peace in every corner of our classroom! Even when the students try to push our buttons, all they need is love!

1 Corinthians 13:4-7The Message (MSG)

3-7 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

This is an awesome scripture to read every morning just to remind us how our classrooms should be!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I love myself! I share love with everyone around me! I am so excited to be shaping young minds! I am making a difference on the planet! My students have greatness in them! I teach with ease! Teaching is fun, it is awesome, it is easy, it is great, it is my passion! My students are eager to learn! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

And Then There’s Love!

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful Educators and Friends!!! In my school district, Today is the last day for teacher prep. We will talk about the many ways to help our students. Our minds will be filled with more information than we can handle. But I say, the best way to get prepared for our students is to fill our hearts with love and compassion! It is only through love that we can see our children as they are: Children that are learning. Love helps us to understand that mistakes are nothing but learning experiences. Children like to push us beyond our limitations. They see the world in its unlimited possibilities, while we were taught at an early age, things we shouldn’t and couldn’t do. We try to push that off on the children and they won’t have it! That is why I speak love, compassion, and understanding over every classroom. Love is the answer! No more getting angry with students that push our buttons – See them with LOVE!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I speak love over every school and classroom all over the world! I love myself! I love my students! I teach with ease! I love teaching. I am a master teacher! My classroom is a peaceful haven! I move through my day with joy! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove!

Who cares if I’m Right!

Good Afternoon Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! It’s been a while since I posted but I saw this and it spoke to me. Many times we do whatever we can just to be right. Even in times when being right could be devastating. “If you don’t stop speeding, you’re gonna be in an accident!” Sometimes it seems like we wish the person would get in an accident just so we could be right. How mean spirited is that? On the other hand, we tear people down and defame their character just so we can be right. Discredit someone else so we can be right. That’s why this quote spoke to me this morning. “I’m one of those people!” I’m always right! “Mark my words”, I would say. That’s what my grandmother said to me. I didn’t realize that by me wishing or expecting harm to them just so I could be right was really bringing it to myself. My godsons drive most of the time when we travel and beg and plead them to slow down. “You’re gonna get in an accident!” However, I’ve been in 4 within a 2 year period and they haven’t been in any. As I look inwardly with Love, I choose not to be right but kind. Everything I wish for others is attracted back to me. So from here on out, I attract kindness, patience, gentleness, love, and peace! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE!

Day 30 of 30 Days of the Golden Rule

Good Morning Most Beautiful and Wonderful World Changers!!!! We have completed our journey! The Golden Rule is simple: Treat others the way you want to be treated. You don’t go and kill 50 people in a nightclub because you don’t want someone to do that to you and your family. If people would just simply live by the Golden Rule a lot of violence would end. I have to apologize to my students when I yell at them because I know I would want anyone yelling at me. It’s so simple but many people don’t get it. LOVE your neighbor = LOVE yourself! Just Do It! Spread LOVE!the-golden-rule
