I love reading, and sometimes just find the right sayings that give me that "aha" moment:
I'd like to share this with you:

"Life is a tapestry of people weaving in and out of your life, people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Everyone has something to offer and share with you. Imagine treating every person you encounter, no matter how fleeting, as an intriguing story waiting to be told. But the story can only be told if someone asks to hear it. Will you ask? That person you see standing before you, no matter who they are, young or old, rich or poor, angry or kind, is like a blockbuster movie ready to enthral you. But, first you have to buy a ticket."

What is your story?

• Where were you born?
• Where do you live now?
• What makes you smile?
• What is the most important life lesson you’ve learned so far?
• What is your deepest fear?
• What is your greatest dream for your life?
• Who are you?

WE LOVED HAVING Archie S's Poppa Rex and Nana Margaret in on Friday afternoon - this gave the children a great chance to ask (amazing) questions & to practice taking notes. I was impressed with the level of questions.

Some examples: What did you have to do to reach your dream?
