Love this! ❤️And your sincerity! I am a pediatric nurse practitioner (for my day job 😂). I see so many children less fortunate than others and so many that just need to be loved😢. Unfortunately, Teachers are sometimes the only real parent a child may have. You never know their home life. Thank you for sharing.
The work we do serving our communities is so important. I agree. I know that many of my students are from unstable homes, and the 6 hours they spend with me each day is the thing that brings them security. Thanks for your thoughtful comment. 💕🙏✨
I’m glad that resonated with you. 💕 I feel it’s not fair to constantly pick ourselves apart. If that’s where our focus was over the course of our lifetime, it would be miserable. 😭
Oh, Jen. I sat here nodding my head the entire video when I wasn’t getting teary during the segment about that super sweet child! I have failed and failed in most of those ways, too. The biggest differences between us is that I didn’t get married, didn’t have kids (though really wanted to!), and didn’t finish college after countless attempts. I’m 56 and found that entering my 50s was when all the failures, mistakes, and regrets started to come back to haunt me. It’s been a journey of trying to find peace with those things and move into a phase of forgiveness and grace. And of making new dreams come true! 🥰 Thank you for sharing these thoughts today. So appreciated! 🙌❤️
My pleasure. I believe that is what our 50’s are for. To come into that gracious period of our lives and turn a new leaf to deep appreciation. ✨💕. Thanks for dropping in a comment. Your thoughts are always welcome here! 🙏🙏
I love how REAL you are! All these failures and look at how you never quit and how you keep going and how strong it has made you! You are almost halfway to your goal!!! You’re going to do it! I have similar friend forgets. Sure doesn’t mean we are bad people. We are just human. Me too! Me too! Me too! All of it minus the teacher stuff because I’ve never been a teacher but I can tell you plenty about accounting mistakes😮 I’m so glad these 2nd graders have you in their lives. How sweet “Sam”’is❤ your mindset is beautiful! Keep going my friend.
I will. And you too! You are my first cheerleader on this journey! I always look forward to your comments! I imagine you with red and white Pom-poms in your hands on your roller skates skating around your living room while telling me these kind thoughts! LOL! Always a big thank you! 💕💕💕✨✨✨
Great video! Thank you for your honesty. I too have failed multiple times but it’s just part of life. We learn, we grow, we embrace life and its obstacles, and we move forward. Keep up the great work! 😊
So true! Thank you for your thoughtful words. What I’m loving about this age I’m at is all of the a-ha moments…where suddenly I’m able to let go of thought patterns that had accumulated for so many years. ⭐️✨😊
This is such a great video!!! Its so important to realise where you've failed but more importantly where you've succeeded after that failure. That's been my goal for this year I'd to focus on the success.
We all have failed in so many ways. I have too. As a fellow teacher I KNOW how much that gift meant from Sam. Teaching can be a thankless job. We love getting those gifts at the end of the year so we finally feel appreciated. I understand feeling bad about not getting any gifts. The story with Sam had me in tears. Your reflection at the end had me in tears too. It makes me want to reflect and remember where I have gone right.

Getting things wrong is often how we learn to get things right. I don't stress about it anymore. I take it as a learning experience. Last week I failed, again, at my personal 30 day challenge. So this week, I'm reconfiguring, and having another try. 👍
I can really relate to this. Thank you for sharing ❤ I hope you enjoy your Summer break and take some time to look after you (and make lots more videos!)
If anyone teaches long enough, they will have a Sam in their life. As for your failures, it appears that you were living a life of learning how to survive so that you could thrive. You are young and thriving; you now get to share your life experience and help others to grow. Yours is not textbook living, but a life of wishing, waiting, hoping, and most importantly Succeeding! Let's get to the 1000 subscribers as you are half way there already.
Hi Ray! I love when you drop in to leave a comment because they’re always SO CHOCK FULL of wisdom. (Did you ever consider having a channel of your own?🙏😊) Your words have warmed my ❤️ heart. Yes…I am thriving now and for see a lot more thriving in my future. Even more, I see my children learning how to thrive at a much earlier age than I did. Now there’s a WIN!
Now Jen, you have proven my point. You have succeeded at the most challenging task ever: parenting children who can grow and thrive. And just think, you are doing this at home and at work. Remember, as a teacher, you are loco parentis, basically the second parent and are expected to take on the role of a second parent. Most people don't know that teachers are legally bound to perform in this role. As you are succeeding brilliantly in both these roles, your prior failures are not a factor in preventing you from being your best. As for my own channel, I am on the fence. I am inspired by you and our other Jen. I'm just about there, but am getting in my own way. Seeing you ladies succeed will move me to start soon. Keep those videos coming, we are all rooting for you.
I think for most of us at this age we start to naturally look back and question all of our choices. You are not a failure at all! We are just living our life the best we can. All of these fails only lead us to success! I love that your student was there for you just when you needed it. Oh and college, I did the 20 year plan of on and off. But you know what, my kids got to be at my graduation so I'm thankful they got to witness their mom never quitting! Enjoy listening!
That had to have been a really special moment for you, Joann! And for your children to see you modeling invincible grit. What did you study/ get a degree in?
"There are no failures in life! Only life lessons"-- We all make mistakes, no one person is perfect! Soo pick up the pieces of positivity and step forward and leaving negativity behind, forgive yourself and loving yourself is KEY to happiness, I'm always looking at a glass half full and not half empty! and never judging a book by it cover. It's how you turn a failure/mistake in to a "+" lesson and always cultivate kindness no matter where you go. hope this helps someone in the world today. 🌺🌺ALOHA Dean

I too have failed in a LOT of things. Thankfully, I've learnt a lot from my 'failures' in the past few years and this is what makes us stronger 😉
Well said! And agreed! If we didn’t have these failures, we couldn’t appreciate what comes after. 🤩💕
Thank you for your vulnerability and wisdom.
My pleasure! And thanks as always, for dropping in to comment! 💕✨
Wonderful! Love that you are openly sharing and creating a channel for honesty and hope! Blessings! ❤

A wise centenarian told me failure is a necessary part of life. No one knows everything. Failing at something means your learning.
Absolutely agree!👍
Getting things wrong is often how we learn to get things right. I don't stress about it anymore. I take it as a learning experience.
Last week I failed, again, at my personal 30 day challenge. So this week, I'm reconfiguring, and having another try. 👍
That’s the perfect attitude! It’s where I find myself mostly these days…just picking up and moving onward. Much more peaceful. ✨✨✨✨
I can really relate to this. Thank you for sharing ❤ I hope you enjoy your Summer break and take some time to look after you (and make lots more videos!)

@@beautifullifesageg.3951 I have a degree in English. I was thinking of going into teacher!
Listening to the end supporting my Birthday Buddy open up. I went to college on an 8 year plan. Parenting is a constant challenge.
It looks easy, but is the hardest job there is. Enjoy the journey of parenting the young, it ends sooner than you realize.
Agreed!
Thank you! A challenge, yes…but for me at least, the most joyful challenge I will ever have! ✨
