Miss B, you are definitely a STAR! She has a special place in my heart. Reminds me so much of my oldest. I know she has some amazing role models in her life, but she's very lucky to have YOU in her life!

And you George. Honestly, the way you interact with my children creates so much safety for them to be themselves and to be truly celebrated for it. You lift them up in ways you may not ever fully understand. Thank you for sharing yourself with them (and me)!

B’s light will shine forever because she is able to witness you living your authentic self, learn from your wisdom and experiences, and because she has you in her corner. Your words are spot-on. B was so very wise to choose you as her mom.

Aww, wow, what an uplifting reflection. Thank you Amy for that. And thank you for being part of her circle. I am beyond grateful for Miss B having you and our sister's modeling for her to soak up. She will be so far ahead thanks to the light and example she will gain from her time over the years with you and our circle.

You are always going to face people trying to knock you down. When it happens stand back up, keep doing what you doing, and don't take it personally!

That is really powerful advice. Thank you Carter for sharing that with me and our circle. It is an important reminder that it is not what we are faced with but rather how we respond to it.

So true. Beautifully written. Between now and adulthood it will take your continued guidance to teach her not to give her power away.

Oh Boy, I needed to read this today. M has been experiencing some unkind behavior at her new school and this speaks to my core 🙏♥️

Breaks my heart when those we love get hurt. I am sorry Talia. Knowing how insightful and attune you are, I can imagine the salve you wrapped M's wound was healing. Please let her know from me, "M, you are love and you are loved. When others are unkind it has nothing to do with you. Nothing to do with you at all. Do not take in what they say. Instead, know that they are hurting inside and don't know how to deal with it. Just say 'bless, bless' in your mind to them, then remove yourself from them and get support from an adult to make it stop. We will always be here to help you, sweet child." Sending love to you both. xoxo

B is beautiful and such a bright light. She has such a positive energy about her and she is fun to be around. You are such a role model for her. I look forward to watching her grow into her own powerful force and become the leader that she is 💕
