"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.
And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
- Howard Thurman
Natalie rocked it last night.
Charlotte and Natalie had swim west last night at 5 and 5:15 respectively. Charlotte finished up comfortably at 5:30 and Natalie had to scoot out of the pool at 5:45, get showered and dried in order to be at school for her concert at 6:25. We made the time crunch.
Up in the risers, I watched our 3rd grader shine like a bright star. I've always been sadly shocked at how early the mean girl behavior begins. There was some of that going on last night but sweet Natalie rose above and sang her heart out. Smiling and singing next to a group of girls too cool to really get into it. I hope you always let your beautiful light shine, my dear. And, always, always be better than the haters. You did such a great job with your performance and your spirit and soul were brighter than the sunshine you bring to a sometimes not friendly school environment.
