Independence Day Inspiration

I thought it would be fun to have a little fun challenge each week. The challenge today is. . .FREE YOURSELF FROM SHAME AND GUILT! {and free yourself from spreading shame and guilt to others}

I LOVE the little poster for today.  It's actually an oldy that I made several years ago.  The first time I read this quote was about 11 years ago.  They were the perfect words for me in the moment.  It's not about forgetting or denying who we are or what we've done.  It's just about moving on with the best of who we are to live the best possible life--the one that was meant for us.  Then we get to interact with others from that place.  That is soooo FREEING on this Independence Day.

Have a wonder-full and adventuresome weekend of freedom,

Brave Teacher Mim
