Remember how they made you feel?

article image placeholderUploaded by @kimestryarts
Good evening, everyone. Today S quote is by Maya Angelou. I've learned that people will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel. So today I want to just ask everyone to share what is something you remember about how someone made you feel? What lasting impressions have people left with you? You might think about the teachers that you encountered in schooling or the adults that you interacted with or colleagues

And I began identifying the underlying thought patterns that I go through at times, and especially when I'm being horribly negative or too hard on myself. So, yeah, this was an instance where someone changed the way I felt about myself and the world around me just because she taught me to just pay more attention to how I'm thinking and what I'm doing and everything else. And the minute articulating it, I felt a lot more empowered. So yeah, great question. And thanks so much

This is a great question. I have had several English teachers I'm fortunate enough to say that have had a profound influence on me and my path, and where I've ended up one in particular that comes to mind is this teacher who really made it a priority for me to have a space to cultivate my writing and meet other writers and just develop that part of myself

Dev, I love how you really recognized the potential to take this question into a negative space and looked at your own thinking and kind of shifted that to something positive that you could bring forward. I appreciate that recognition. And, Leonora, I am so happy to hear about that teacher who had such an impact on your life because my background is I'm an educator. And so it just really fills my heart to know that there are teachers out there making so much of a difference in their students lives
