“You is smart. You is kind. You is important.”*
I got a note in the mail this week that said all of this and more from someone I admire. I blushed, I beamed, I bloomed. (Name the Kevin Henkes book.)**
I also opened up my blinds to see that the leaves outside had changed to this vivid yellow color.
A stamp and some pigment. That’s all that it takes to make me happy.
