I’ve read some wonderful books these last weeks 🤍

Mrs Piper told me that books can be windows, mirrors or both. And I think that perfectly explains the power&opportunities that live in stories.

👇🏻 Found/adopted this one in the Lakes, talk about it spreading that story JOY!

Just in case you’re still worried:

Age 5,there was a darkness in my chest from not being loved.

My 1st teacher, Ms Arkinson,changed that. She taught me to wash,that I was enough,that I was worthy.

She placed a light in my chest that has never gone out!

Today,I got to meet her again. Today, I said thank you!
