Remember This Everyday :: Thoughts for a New...
excerpt from Teaching Tolerance, a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center Teaching is even more rewarding than you imagined. It is also more exhausting.

As always...
1) Be kind and gentle (with yourself and others). 2) Do no harm. Oh, and… 3) Treat your family more tenderly. Everyone needs a little tenderness now and then. 4) Give thanks for those you love and who love you back.
