Happy Friday the 13th Everyone!

I thought I'd cue up a short film for you today...


A beautiful little reminder that it's not the things in life that make us happy, but the people.  What really fulfills us is the time spent in the company of those we care about.  In addition, finding ways to bring joy to those we love fills us with equal amounts of joy!  

I hope you have lots of Joy this weekend.  :)  

Be well,

Mrs. Hempey

Lived Experience

Good Morning Everyone, Today I'd like to continue addressing social justice and antiracism from my blog. What is antiracism you ask? Well, let me explain what I have come to understand.  Antiracism is when we actively take a stance against racial injustice.  It is fighting for equality.  It is going beyond just thoughts and feelings and taking action.  That action can come in many forms.  It can be in the form of educating your self or others, peaceful protest, monetary support for organizations like Black Lives Matter or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), or it can be about simply lending your voice to someone in need.   Some people would argue that topics such as these are wading into the water of politics and taking sides and that we shouldn't be talking about them in school or with young kids.  My response is that I don't care what political side people are on.  This is a human rights issue!  It's...
