The world needs strong women that support other women. The only way that can happen is if you help build one another up rather than tearing each other down.
El mundo necesita mujeres fuertes que apoyen a otras mujeres. La única manera de que eso suceda es si se ayudan unas a otras a edificarse en lugar de derribarse unos a otros.

Be kind always! What you will regret when you are older, are the times that you chose to be unkind. You will wish you could go back in time and choose a different path. It won't always be an easy decision, but you will never regret choosing to be kind. If someone is sitting alone, make a new friend. We all need friends. No one likes to be alone. ��
¡Sé amable siempre! De lo que te arrepentirás cuando seas mayor son las ocasiones en las que elegiste ser cruel. Desearás poder retroceder en el tiempo y elegir un camino diferente. No siempre será una decisión fácil, pero nunca te arrepentirás de haber elegido ser amable. Si alguien está sentado solo, haz un nuevo amigo. Todos necesitamos amigos. A nadie le gusta estar solo. ��

Glue: Clear glue, School glue, White glue, or Elmer’s
Glue
Borax (Sodium Tetraborate)
Food coloring (optional)
Water
Two bowls
In one bowl mix 1 oz. glue (about 1⁄4 of the glue bottle) and 1⁄4 cup water. If you want colored slime, add food coloring to the glue and water mixture. Lift some of the solution out of the container with the stir stick and note what happens.
Add 1⁄4 cup of liquid Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) Solution to the glue and water mixture and stir slowly. (Borax can be found at the store Laundry aisle) The slime will begin to form immediately. Lift some of the solution with the stir stick and observe how the consistency has changed from Step 1. Stir as much as you can, then dig in and knead it with your hands until it gets less sticky. This is a messy experience but is necessary because it allows the two compounds to bond completely. Don’t worry about any leftover water in the bowl; just pour it out. When not in use, store the slime in a plastic bag in the fridge to keep it from growing mold.

Real friends are the ones you can count on no matter what. The ones who go into the forest to find you and bring you home and real friends never have to tell you that they are your friend. Tell them how you feel. Listen to them too.
"Yes #love yourself. But also, analyze and be critical of how you think, act and behave. Self love without self awareness is useless. Be accountable." —

We all have the potential and ability to face any obstacle in life. Often, we encounter challenges that cause disappointment and diminish our drive. However, we should not allow negative events to dictate the great future we have ahead of us. It's vital to understand that we cannot control everything in life, but we can influence our destiny by making wise decisions and putting everything in God's hands.
Ms. Sylvia
Todas tienen el potencial y la capacidad para enfrentar cualquier obstáculo en la vida. A menudo, nos encontramos con desafíos que causan decepción y nos quitan las ganas. Sin embargo, no debemos permitir que los eventos negativos dicten el gran futuro que tenemos por delante. Es vital entendemos que no podemos controlar todo en la vida, pero podemos influir en nuestro destino tomando decisiones sabias y poniendo todo en las manos de Dios. Ms. Sylvia

“Living with integrity means behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values.”
Barbara De Angelis
Los valores tienden a cambiar cuando atravesamos diferentes
etapas de la vida.
Todos tenemos un conjunto de valores que construimos a traves de nuestras experiencias.
Piensa en personas que admiras, pregunta, cuales son sus valores.
Como expresamos los valores puede cambiar con las personas que conectamos. Lo importante es entender nuestros valores y nuestros limites.
Values tend to change when we go through different stages of life.
Values Workbook

We all have a set of values that we build through our experiences. Think about people you admire, ask what their values are. How we express values can change with the people we connect. The important thing is to understand our values and our limits. "Vivir con integridad significa comportarse de manera que esté en armonía con sus valores personales". Bárbara De Angelis

Mis espacios seguros
Un espacio seguro es una persona, lugar o actividad que te ayuda a sentirte tranquila, cómoda y te permite ser tú misma. Tu espacio seguro es ahí para ti sin importar cómo te sientas: feliz o triste, hablador o tranquilo, valiente o asustado
My safe spaces
A safe space is a person, place, or activity that helps you feel calm and comfortable and lets you be yourself. Your safe space is there for you no matter how you feel--happy or sad, talkative or quiet, brave or scared
Safe people listen to you, support you, and accept you for who you are
Las personas seguras te escuchan, te apoyan y te aceptan tal como eres
Safe places help you feel calm and secure.
Los lugares seguros te ayudan a sentirte tranquila y segura
Safe activities let you express yourself and help you feel good.
Las actividades seguras te permiten expresarte y te ayudan a sentirse bien.

Juntas crearemos un espacio valiente
Porque no hay tal cosa como un “espacio
seguro ”
Existimos en el mundo real
Todas llevamos cicatrices y todas hemos causado heridas. En este espacio
Buscamos bajar el volumen del mundo exterior,
Amplificamos voces que luchan para ser escuchadas en otros lugares,
Nos llamamos a más verdad y amor
Tenemos derecho a comenzar en algún lugar y seguir creciendo.
Tenemos la responsabilidad de examinar lo que creemos que sabemos.
No seremos perfectas.
Este espacio no será perfecto.
No siempre será lo que deseamos que sea
Pero será nuestro espacio valiente, y
Vamos a trabajar juntas
Poema: Micky Scottbey Jones
¡Somos Mariposas!
Together we will create brave space
Our Space
Because there is no such thing as a “safe space ”
We exist in the real world
We all carry scars and we have all caused wounds. In this space
We seek to túrn down the volume of the outside world, We amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere, We call each other to more truth and love We have the right to start somewhere and continue to grow.
We have the responsibility to examine what we think we know.
We will not be perfect. This space will not be perfect. It will not always be what we wish it to be But it will be our brave space together, And We will work on it side by side
Poem by: Micky Scottbey Jones
We are Mariposas!
