Beautifully stated!! As a retired teacher, I would have loved to have had this posted in my classroom. I strove to raise my daughter this way, and I’m so thrilled to say she is living in this magical intersection, and she puts so much good out into the world. ❤️

This part is what I meant, for the kids in my middle school classroom when I was a teacher:

Kids,

Don’t be something.

Be somebody.

Somebody who is kind.

Somebody who is merciful.

Somebody who is unaffected by the expectations of other people.

Somebody who believed in miracles so deeply that they became one themselves.

Kids,

Just be yourselves.

I mean it.

Be authentically you.

You each have a body that, under its skin, has a caldera of endless light.

That once it breaks through,

Will shoot forth an

- Arc of light that can

- Be seen from Venus.

Don’t be something.

Be more than that.

~ Be the miracle this world needs right now.

Be you.
