I received such a kindness of deep praise from a reader on my last newsletter. I'm sitting now with its generosity, and the thought of how hard it is to maintain the confidence in oneself that others have in the value of one's work & one's presence.
But that's just it, isn't it? We need each other. Not to put each other up on pedestals. To *see* each other, & to *keep* reminding each other that they are seen.
Delicate times, friends.
Thanks so much for the chance to show up with all of you. 💙

One of the most important parts of my job as a driving instructor is not, as many would expect, to highlight the errors and flaws in my pupils’ progress and performance, but to make them aware of their own actual growth. To validate their learning and to nurture their growth, confidence and belief.
If no one tells us “well done” from time to time, how can we see the pathway to improve?
