Dang, this has me feeling teary. I loved your description of your students. Yes, this generation is so much better at loving each other than any other I've known. I guess that's the upside to living through all they've lived through. And I love the idea of loving out loud.

If only we would be brave enough to live out loud more often. I think if we do it (if I do it) a little bit more each day, it might be easier on me. I pride myself on being loud and out there , but sometimes I shift down into timid. Good reminders.

Thanks for reading Tess. I sometimes have to make sure my praise to feedback ratio is in the right order with the ones I love the most. 😂

I love this post so much, and I also listened to that episode and the "love each other out loud" phrase has stuck with me ever since hearing it.

Same. Dan and I had a competition. I knew so many. I was surprised at how current some of the titles were. I’m so glad you were there too. 🥰
