This space is for sharing thriving moments — meaningful moments that reflect growth, connection, regulation, insight, or support over time. Thriving moments don’t have to be big wins or polished outcomes. They might be quiet shifts, steady routines, moments of understanding, or things that simply felt supportive or sustaining. Some thriving moments are personal. Others may come from experiences supporting learners. When sharing about learning contexts, we keep details general and non-identifying, focusing on the learning, growth, or support rather than personal information about individual learners. There’s no right way to share here, and no expectation to post regularly. Some people notice and share. Others read and reflect. Both are part of the practice. You’re invited to take what’s useful, add when it feels right, and return to this space as needed. 💜 Let’s keep noticing what supports thriving — together.

A friend recently inspired me to think about the stories we tell ourselves — and how easily we treat them as true. I decided to gently challenge one I’ve carried for a long time: “I’m not a plant person.” I’ve shared a picture of an unhappy plant that was recently gifted to me. In the past, I probably would’ve thrown it out. This time, I chose to believe I could enjoy and care for living plants in my home. I did a bit of research, realized I had accidentally overwatered it, and tried a few gentle next steps to help prevent root rot. Even if this plant doesn’t make it, something shifted for me — I noticed myself changing the story from “I can’t keep plants alive” to “I’m learning what this plant needs.” That felt like a small but real thriving moment.
