Hello All, It's Friday, February 6th, 2026. 

Happy Black History Month, I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.  We get so afraid of the love we might lose if we choose to simply show up as ourselves, but the truth is any love you lost because of that, was never yours to have in the first place.  Please believe you can be everything and anything you want to be.- Erivo   

So often we hurt our own feelings by thinking we mean more to people than we really do just because they mean that much to us.  People treat you exactly how they feel about you. Pay attention to actions, not just words.- Unknown   

I'm so proud of you for showing up and being yourself.  Give yourself credit for the days you made it through when you thought you couldn't.    Treat yourself the way you want to be treated by others... Love yourself and you will be loved. - Byrne   

Speak positive words into your life every single morning.  Think success. Think peace.  Think happiness. Think about the growth mindset.  Always start the day with positive energy.  I see you. I love you. You are enough just the way you are.- Love EduQuita
