When do you feel connected to something greater than myself?

​"Spending much of my career as an early childhood educator, and as a parent of two, children make me feel connected to something greater than myself. They remind me of the freedom of imagination. They can see beyond adult limitations. They dive deep into trust and relationships. They consistently show me what liberation is and dare me to dream of that kind of freedom for myself."

“A self proclaimed introvert that will boldly take a stand to injustice. corrects and informs with clarity and love. Nerds out about creating what is possible and creating a world that can meet the needs of our families and communities."
