We spend a lot of time acknowledging how thankful we are for one another so today, I thought it important to point out how healthy and wonderful it is to also recognize our own personal strengths. To acknowledge that we are all incredible and should be less hard on the reflection staring back at us in our mirrors.

So my Wildflowers, now is your chance. I challnge you to not only look in the mirror, but to also see the amazing YOU that the rest of the world sees.

Now shout it out and inspire us all! Keep checking back to be inspired by those that comment after you.

Good morning, Wildflowers! It's the 1st day of Summer Break. 3:40AM and I am wide awake. This is not what having no responsibilities today should look like. Oh well. I may as well get up and be productive!

But first...a hot cup of tea! How do you get your mornings started? Coffee, Tea, Water and a Workout? Throwing the alarm against a wall? However your day begins, I hope it becomes the best day for you!

Welcome to the final "Wacky Wednesday" of the school year, Wildflowers!

My summer officially begins at 3PM. Not that I'm counting down the hours, because I really DO love teaching, but oh my gosh has it been a year! This girl is ready for a mid-day cocktail on a Tuesday and my walking app telling me to get off my butt and move on a Friday, (at least for the first week). And then... BRING ON SUMMER FUN!

What are your summer plans, Wildflowers? Add them to the jar and inspire us all to be adventurous, engaging and spontaneous. OR inspire us all to plan something big like a trip to another country, a wedding, a total revamp of life or business.

While aroma beads are curing, fragrance diffuser baubles are being made. I've added skull and star baubles to my classic cylinders. Over 200 of each are being filled, capped and labeled this week in preparation of my upcoming events. Some glitter. Some glow. They all smell amazing!

Yesterday, our Kindergarten Crew, (along with our 1st grade friends) took a field trip to the Oregon Zoo and it got me thinking. This thinking got me to researching and my research of course led me to creating this week's "Tell Me About It Tuesday"!

Which of these was the biggest surprise to you? For me, it's definitely the African Elephant. I had heard that "elephants never forget" and that "they are afraid of mice" but never had I realized that they can... well, check out the poster below and let me know what you think!
