BREA AFFIRMS...and nourishes the world!!


I write another blog besides this one http://photoschmoozer.blogspot.com/
in addition to a very basic web-site www.daretoaffirm.com

In that I talk about TAKING EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE, LEARN THEIR STORIES AND CATCH THEM DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. Every day I make a new friend because I decide to be friendly, make people feel good and talk to them about something I like about them and/or what they do!!
In my town, I am bringing a new energy and it is represented by affirmations and DRUMMING. See Photoschmoozer soon for drumming stories!!

When Brea Marsh first wrote, I could have said, "Gee thanks" BUT something told me that I needed to get much more involved with her and send the pins to her 6th graders. That I did and here is her response!! We will continue to publish letters from Brea and hopefully from her kids too here. Stay tuned!!!

Remember people will NOT remember what you did or what you said, but they will remember how you made them feel!! This is a total win-win situation for all of us!!

I wanted to thank you for the pins! The kids love them, and I have other kids coming from all over campus saying Mrs. Marsh, what does that pin stand for? My class periods were going crazy because they had to wait to get theirs! :) Well, I am writing an article that will be published for Hoofprints, Manorisd's website newsletter. I wanted to make sure it is okay that I mention your website, and show your pins. Let me know if this is okay. I will also put a link for the blog if that's okay.
How could I say no?!?!? Of course, we will look forward to Brea's article in Hoofprints soon.
