In 1998 I graduated from Teachers College believing I had the power to make a difference in the world, 1 child at a time. 27 yrs later, still inspired by the starfish story & the power of 1 person, I wake up every day excited to make a difference & share a little kindness with the world!🫶🏻
I wrote this poem for my class today. It’s called The Magic of Love. They enjoyed it. I believe that love is magic! #StarfishClub #mentalhealth

People will have their opinions of you. Never let it affect how you see yourself. #StarfishClub #mentalhealth

Being human and being kind should go together. Sadly they don’t always do. #StarfishClub #mentalhealth

Let’s make being kind cool again! Some simple old fashioned kindness, with respect and civility. It could go a long way. Kindness is medicine!🫶🏻 #StarfishClub

My poem titled “Stay.” #mentalhealth #StarfishClub
If you see someone
who is in pain,
don’t look away.
Do something they
would never expect.
Stay.♥️

Be kind. It is the only way forward. It is the only way to find peace. It is the only way to live a life you are proud of. 🫶🏻 #StarfishClub #mentalhealth

Whatever you do for a living & whatever education you have or don’t have, be proud & never let anyone make you feel like you aren’t good enough. Some people walk around thinking they’re better than others. Being respectful & treating people right is more impressive than anything.🫶🏻 #mentalhealth

Sometimes people tell me I should want more but the truth is I want less. Less noise. Less crowds. Less drama. Less people. Less rushing. Less stuff. Less stress. Sometimes less is more.🫶🏻 #StarfishClub #mentalhealth

Protect your peace like it’s private property. Deny or limit entrance to those who throw off your positive vibe and reduce your energy levels. I know it’s hard but it’s so important. Health is wealth and peace is a big part of it. 🫶🏻 #StarfishClub

Happiness depends upon ourselves but sometimes it’s hard so it’s important to talk to people. It’s important to check in on each other. It’s important to be mindful of what people may be going through because sometimes happiness is even found in a stranger who reaches in. 🫶🏻 #mentalhealth

I hope you never think you failed, because there is someone out there who could write a book about all the things you did to help them and that is the greatest success in life. 🫶🏻 #StarfishClub #mentalhealth

The happiest people are those who are satisfied with what they have now even if they dream of having more. They understand the power of gratitude and that is their guiding principle. 🫶🏻 #StarfishClub

One thing that will never lie to you is your gut. If it doesn’t feel right, it’s probably not. If it feels right, trust in it and go with the flow. Give it time and see if things align.🫶🏻 #StarfishClub
