Love this, Laura. We’re going to do some kind of poetry sharing in a few weeks, so will remember this. On your other post, love the idea of “bossing words around”. We do have to believe we’re in control, right? Thanks!
Thanks, Linda. I’m decent with facial expressions, but not the slowing down part. There’s always something to work on:>) And yay on bossing words around. It is kind of about believing you’re in charge. Fake it ’til you make it:>)
