Taking life too seriously and it shows. I am too busy and forgetting to smile. Acting like everything is an emergency, forgetting to slow down and take in wonder and enjoy each day. 

I am afraid to act, speak up, and protect the honor of children. 

I see things that dishonor children yet I don’t speak up. I’d be hoarse and blue in the face! I am careful and cautious not to over step BUT WHY?!? I am an expert in the field of early childhood education. Why do we lose our voices? Why are we afraid to speak up? What are we afraid of?

Why are we afraid to fight for children’s rights to a quality early learning system with highly competent and highly compensated educators? When will we wake up?

I commit to taking one step at a time. I commit to keeping it simple and not overbearing. I commit with a smile and one to share.

What are you afraid of? How are you facing your fear?
