The Roller Coaster Ride of Life
The love of my earthly life moved into his heavenly home 12-13-2022. Since Gene passed away, surprisingly, I rarely feel lonely. I have Jesus to talk to. And I’ve been talking a lot…day in and day out…pretty much non-stop! I told Him that I was doing all the talking and it would be nice if He would tell me what I’m supposed to be doing
Thank You Cards for Support Staff
I’m so excited! These cards are what I was looking for when I was an elementary principal to THANK my wonderful staff at the end-of-the-year. (But actually, you can use this download any time of year.) TWO SIZES to choose from – 20 full-page (fold in half) OR 10 half-page. Pictured below: Full-page on the left, half-page on the right. Just print and fold the

Encouraging Words
A word spoken in due season, how good it is! Prov. 15:23 I don’t personally know of anyone that doesn’t appreciate an encouraging word, but when it comes at exactly the right time for them…what a wonderful thing indeed! How do you know when to speak words into someone’s life? I call it an unction or a nudging in your gut. It’s when you are thinking of
School Appreciation Days 2025-2026
Appreciating, celebrating, and boosting staff morale has always been a passion for me. I’ve had so much fun putting together the files for School Appreciation Days (see below). Your maintenance workers, paraprofessionals, school nurse, and many more are included. In each download you find innumerable ways to appreciate, personalize, and give gifts to show school personnel how much they are loved in an inexpensive way!
Ideas for Appreciating Your Staff
It was alarming to me to read research released by The Gallup Group, that only 87% of the workforce is either partially engaged or totally disengaged. In other words, they are physically there but not mentally or emotionally. YIKES! I was in a store a couple of days later and sadly got a first-hand look at this. I asked the lady behind the counter a
Embarrassing Moments Happen to Everyone
Showing up at work with two different shoes (when it’s NOT the national holiday for that!), wearing a piece of clothing inside out, coming out of the restroom with your skirt hiked up and showing your backside, etc. We’ve ALL had embarrassing moments in our lives. I started young. My momma told me on more than one occasion, “Gail, what happens to you happens to
Kids Say the Dandiest Things: Stories from a Retired Educator
Art Linkletter was a radio and television host in the 1950s through the 1970s. One of his lasting legacies was the entertaining interviews with children that would appear on a 15-minute segment of his program entitled Kids Say the Darndest Things. (Not the “dandiest”.) When I first became a teacher, I bought a journal to write down the cute and funny sayings that would come
Words of Affirmation and Quality Time: Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy for details here. During my elementary school principal years, I had a master kindergarten teacher that was amazing. She was quiet, sweet, and totally adored by her co-workers, parents, and students. She also made teaching look oh so easy! I made the mistake one time of bragging about her in a staff meeting. She was sitting
