✨ A jar full of "sparkles" ✨
There's like this synergy, this connectedness the sparkles that we're all leaving in our wakes that we are all affected by and affecting others with. And how amazing is that? So this is my attempt to sort of kind of capture even a hint of that and appreciate you in your words, but also be reminded of who I am by your words

And it took a lot of, in a way, pressure off me just to hear from you and to all the others who shared on. That swell. I felt really seen in that post. So, yeah, thank you for sharing this
Maybe afterward, when things have settled a little bit and you can reflect on it and what you chose to do and what you found meaning in, or what you thought you were going to find meaning in, what you actually found meaning in, and all of that, that would really be interesting and lovely to hear about. And I think you've inspired me that I think these things exist. I just don't know where to find it. But I want to

I just want to say from someone who's been listening to you for as long as I have now, here you are, definitely an incredible soul in mind and spirit and heart and teacher, philosopher and yeah, you definitely pixie dust my pavement. Thank you
Speaking of thank you for your sparkle, we would not be here on this platform, most of us, if it wasn't for you and your encouragement and inclusion of each of us in different ways. And I'm really appreciative of that. Thanks, Deb

No matter how whimsical the topic is, you really give a well thought out response, and I truly appreciate it to the point it inspires me and encourages me first and foremost with when I'm responding and contributing to your swells, to return the same from a space of respect, not from a space of reciprocity. Just to do it. Oh, because Christina did it

Whether it is me being one of the best educators on this platform that has gone downhill since called an academy which was offering free education, now they have started offering paid education. So sucks. It was good while it lasted. All of these things all of these things that brought me joy. My English teacher from school telling me that my enthusiasm made her life as a teacher worth it. And I thought I was that annoying kid, right?

Wow. JL I'm at a loss for words as ridiculous as that sounds. I had no idea. Thank you so much for sharing this. This swell I never anticipated. Sounds also silly, but I never anticipated even more sparkles coming in. I just was so grateful for that. The sparkles I've already received and just wow. Thank you
I just have to shift my thinking. Anyway, like you said, there are those days, though, then, that we need the reminders. And so I decided I would start to collect them. It was all of these threads coming together and now there's a jar of sparkles and the sugar cubes. I'm really grateful for so many people here, yourself included. Thank you

And I remember you saying you were going to make this jar, I'm sorry, I'm going to get choked up again. I guess I've never really thought that I had that kind of impact. So thank you. It was really nice to hear and it's been really neat hearing everyone else's responses. Thank you to everyone else. Your responses have been amazing and thank you. Christina
Okay, now you've got me choked up over here sending you virtual hugs. I'm just so appreciative of, like, just looking at this thread and thinking about these things
