With family in town and so much going on, I missed last week, but here are my joys for this week‘s #5JoysFriday.
🎂My grand-niece dancing on the table at the end of her first birthday party
📚That same sweet girl enjoying her book gifts at the park
🥐A croissant sticking out its strawberry tongue at the wall of the display case
🙏🏼Seeing a former student interviewed on the news as he was providing support and aid to wildfire victims (link ⤵️)
pick10/10.
Can someone tell Traister to publish an updated edition? I really want her take on the country six years later. Maybe she‘ll wait for the mid term elections?
pickThis is an amazing book for social emotional regulation. Would be very beneficial for age ranges K-3. I will definitely include this in my future classroom.
Please teach me about my anger.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️I didn‘t have any issue with the message of this book - I almost fully agree with his premise that we can choose to be unoffendable, reacting to people‘s anger with love.The reason I didn‘t love this one is because it felt very repetitive, &there were moments that felt like Hansen didn‘t allow for healthy ways to deal with our anger, it should just be dismissed.So it was fine for what it was, but I wish it had been a bit less…or a bit more.
“Okay. So this may sound like the dumbest thing you‘ve ever read, but here goes: you can choose to be unoffendable.”

In spite of all the evidence that humanity has made great strides towards equality, empathy, and self-awareness, the most powerful country in the world once again stands for oppression, sexism, racism, and corruption.
I am as surprised as I am not at all.
And yet, my heart is broken.
💜I had a realization of how absolutely beautiful people are, thinking about the massive outpouring of wildfire assistance + two beautiful spiritual direction sessions I had this week 2d
