The Real F Word

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! This word is one of the most crippling words ever. It can stop you dead in your tracks. Many people have died and never get over this. And the word is FEAR. During this season of COVID-19, it’s easy to get trapped inside and become fearful of venturing out. I had noticed I was becoming so fearful that I didn’t want to leave my bed. I had started noticing pains coming from different parts of my body which made me remember I need to deal with my fear.

And we all know that the best way to handle fear is to face it head on. So just a simple thing like going to sit in the common area of the house to have dinner, instead of eating in my bedroom, I faced my fear. Going to the grocery, instead of having them delivered; I faced my fear.

A few years ago, I started writing children’s stories. After a few rejection letters from publishers, I was too fearful to go on. Until I decided to face my fear and self publish. Fast forward. . . . Things didn’t seem as scary when I faced it head on.

You an do the same thing! Whatever it is you are fearful about; face it head on!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Awesome Day! I choose to move with joy and ease. I am loved. I am safe. I am at peace. I am fearless. Whatever I fear, fears me when I face it. I am healthy, wealthy, whole and complete. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM. ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL. ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD. ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE. #IBlessMyWorldWithLove

Singing In The Rain! Fun Friday Edition!

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! It is a rainy Friday here in Kentucky! Most people hate the rain, but I love it! The rain is used to till to soil and make it ready to grow things. That’s how I see the “rain” in my life. Most people envision rain as bad things that happen in life. That may be the case but if you see every experience as an opportunity to learn and grow, you can take joy in the rain! Sing in the rain! Dance in the rain! Grow from the rain!

Singing in The Rain by Kyri Demby

The rain in my life is falling hard, yet I still have a song.
The winds are blowing while lightening flashes, my voice is even more strong.
I’m singing in the rain
Through al the hurt and pain
There’s so much to gain
The knowledge from lessons remain
I’m singing in the rain
Dancing in the rain
Twirling in the rain
Jumping in the rain
The rain falls harder and yet in sing on
The thunder claps loud, my voice is even more strong
I find joy in the rain
Peace in the rain
Happiness in the rain
The rain comes down
To til the soil
Break up fallow ground
Water the seeds
And saves us from toil
Toil is hard hard work
The work digging in the ground
Searching our hearts to
Turn our lives around
Searching our minds to
Fine our strength
Fixing our eyes to
See things that were so evident
I can see clearly even in the rain
I see all the growing that will come from my pain
So I can take joy and keep on singing in the rain.

Daily Affirmations: Today is a Happy Day! I am loving myself . I’m glad to be alive. I sing and rejoice in the rain. My life is amazing. Everyone I come in contact with is for me. I am healthy, wealthy, whole, and complete. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM. ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL. ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD. ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE. #IBlessMyWorldWithLove

Don’t Be Afraid To Be You

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! It’s a wonderful thing when you can learn to be you and be you unapologetically! It feels good! All the parts that make up you; the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything between. Love yourself for who you are. The best time we could spend during our COVID-19 staying at home, is the time we spend getting to know ourselves. Take a few minutes a day and just sit and think about what you think about! You have to know who you are before you can really be who you are!

Trust Your Feelings

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! Many times, I look outside myself to get someone else’s input on things happening in my life. “There has to be a reason that I don’t have a the money I want, the husband I want, the house I want”. So I talk others and ask them, “what’s wrong with me?” So then I take their advice, and then feel further away from what I want. Until it feels like I can’t trust myself anymore. After a few times of asking others what they think I should do and them stirring me in the way that they think but might not be right for me, I had to stop myself.

Kyri! Trust your own feelings. You do know what’s best for you. Just saying this helped me to lead my life in the way that I wanted to. I don’t have to base my life on the thoughts of other. I could trust myself. And that’s okay!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Awesome day. I choose to feel good about myself. I love and approve of myself. I trust myself with myself. I am healthy, wealthy, whole, and complete. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM. ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL. ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD. ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE. #IBlessMyWorldWithLove

Feeling Good About Self Control!

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! Teaching our students self control is one of the most important lessons you could ever teaching. This involves teaching our children to think about what they think about!

Many articles compare the benefits of self control versus self esteem. However, I see it as being directly correlated. Students who know how to control themselves almost always have a high self esteem. Children who lack self control normally are the ones who are being constantly redirected, which doesn’t always make us feel good. While those who control themselves get complimented constantly, which feels good.

Let’s think intrinsically. How many times have you gone on a diet or said you were going to stop smoking? Then 3 or 4 days in you have let your self down due to lack of self control. You normally feel horrible. Now how many time have you set your mind to accomplish a goal and actually accomplished it? After which you feel excited and confident. The same is with self control. Every time student get the victory over themselves, they become stronger.

Help our students feel good about themselves by instilling the habit of self control.

Daily Affirmations: Today is a Fabulous day. I sprinkle love, joy, and peace into every corner of my classroom. I am controlling myself more and more. I teach self control to my children and it boost their self esteem. I am an Awesome educator! I am healthy, wealthy, whole, and complete. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM. ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM. ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE. #IBlessMyWorldWithLove
