Has been and I really want to highlight that the students have been asked to do something that none of the adults in this space have been asked to do witches take school from home and not be able to see their friends and all that so I really hope that the combination of iPhone x and clarifying your own Vision in your own goal erection in your life is going to help you all kind of guide yourself through this really challenging time that we all find ourselves another one of my intentions for this evening is that this be an engaging and interactive presentation so in order to fulfill on that intention and action that I have taken is to design something called amazing meter presentation this is I've been sponsored by our incredible best in the world PGA so I'm really excited to roll this out it's a great way to interact and so I'm going to share with you guys my screen in a moment what was really cool as you can log-in on your computer if you have to but you can also use your device

the mindfulness Mentor campus it has become quite a buzz word mindfulness I'm sure you all heard it recently whether you're just going through the grocery checkout line seat on a magazine but it's a trendy topic it's not something that I really remember hearing about when I was a kid so it's interesting to see how far we've come and kind of an awareness of mindfulness and what that might mean the simple definition that I like to give over is the practice of noticing the present moment and accepting it as it is so we can just deep breath notice how you're feeling in your body notice any critical thought that might be running through your head we've all got them and then just come back to your bra. and feel maybe yourself sitting in the chair notice your environment is probably a familiar comfortable one so I can see that five I'm noticing with my mindfulness that's five students have or five people participants have started and lodging tormenting me and I'm also noticing that it's already 7:10 and there's a bit of information and then activities that I'm turning on meeting you guys through so you're getting logged in to mention meter keep going go for it we're getting our first fly at our first flight is something I start my class with everyday this is a great way to kind of enter into an experience together which is what are you grateful for right now what's one thing

Park that is awesome yes sleeping in the simple things right meeting some new. amazing hiking in Malibu right and dive is also valuable information that can help us clarify the kinds of goals we want

amazing information as well I guess I press enter calling my grandmother oh that one that one goes deep right now thank you guys awesome so next question the last one of our morning essentially is we looked back and now let's take a minute to look forward what's something that we're looking forward to right now and that's something important thing you know when I'm bogged down and struggling to keep on track of my sometimes I have to just remember like oh yeah there's that moment there's that parent Ed night that I get to offer in like we're going to get there and that brings me back to my intention we're going to talk more about intention as friends and family code we look forward to the. Life 50th birthday that's beautiful looking for the big things Horizon right we look forward to big things like getting her vaccine and when coronavirus will go away or a hike with the family amazing Wonder sorry about that time we just did something that I do with my student every morning and it's the first stage of death what I call the end and all of you guys to be equipped with a print out the form that we generated the old Covenant as a family it would be wonderful to form sort of accountability Partnerships with this practice a sneak peek at what the form looks like and you guys should have received an email with a link to this here those same questions what's something you enjoyed yesterday what's something you looking forward to today so we start our day by remembering these things and that gives us an orientation gives us some perspective the next question is today I intend to be it we're going to talk about what an intention is what we mean by that and how we go about setting its intentions in a jumping back over to our mental we're going to do is it going to be like a two or three part process coming up next we're going to really hone in on our goal for this I don't want I don't want you guys to over strap over stress about it but it is an opportunity to set a goal for the new year and where can I find those goals and to be great then we're going to talk about intention of goals and intention work together and that we can use the card intention to hear ourselves towards our goals our goals are like the direction it's the X on the map right it's the thing that we're trying to accomplish if the dog. Nation we're trying to reach the thing we're trying to do an intention is more about the way we're trying to be how we're going to get there how we're going to show up on the way to that go so we're going to get to the intention how to clarify real quick where we going what's our goal for this year ticket area like is your academic if your student is your goal social the extracurricular you play any sports or instruments or write poetry is it health-related right do you wanna lose some weight or feel better in your body is family-oriented create more together in and hold  with the occasional struggles that all of us probably go through option 7 that's a mystery 1 I'm curious and those of you for putting other I'm wondering what you guys are thinking of I love that other is growing do you guys do does anybody want to share what they put it they put other any that might Inspire some other people to get some new ideas about the gold they want to set open invitation Kalia thanks for raising your hand on my goals to help so I actually have two different goals on one of them is to help as many animals as possible 2022 and he's at least 50 books by December incredible Incredibles very good job those are great ways of particulate in our goal now that you've identified it at Target area right and noticing a lot of us are interested in living more healthy this year with go a lot of us are in that other category family interesting to see Zero academic goals but I imagine a lot of you guys want to improve your grades are students out there right now this is for you I want you to really own goal setting experience you chart your own course in your life what is really important what would you hope to accomplish and here we're going to go for a first round try to put our goal with the words right in order to get anywhere we need to clarify where we're going we need to name it right so go ahead try to name your goal right now how to put it into words then if you're on the 19th of mazing if you're working on a sheet of paper on the table to the side if you're working on your Journal go board in your Journal think about your goals overthink it cuz we're going to have another chance to refine our goals a little bit more somebody wants to be more present take a deep breath in no. surrounded notice this moment reassess what's important and act accordingly 75 miles on a bike a week a better mom friend wife what's the temperature not always try to solve people's problems instead listen to them without giving a solution yeah there is no solution to our current predicament right now we've got to learn to cope are we need to come up with strategies that can help us through this moment wow I love it I love seeing these gold popping up be healthier everyday helping many animals impossible to Read 50 books by December people on how we spend our time support kids with the tools to be successful and let them find their way work as hard as I can at everything I do be more positive and mindful now because these are fantastic I want to give you guys a little bit of it of a framework and a tool or really strengthening and refining and clarifying your goals so that they're the most Crystal Clear they can be so we can actually get there and I want to point out and this is no nobody's getting schooled in here want to point out that some of these aren't actually really goals in my understanding and my friend a lot of these are intentions it's an intention to be more positive sanitation to be more Mindful and so we're going to clarify our goals right now and just a little bit English that was an academic goal and reading 10 classic fight your birthday in December incredible so how are we going to refine our goals we're going to learn how to run a smart goals right now smart goal Pacific right so when we write goals we want to be specific oftentimes I see students and they have a goal to get better grades first of all nobody gets grade on your grave but we want to be specific what does better grades mean to you I would like to get an A or a B in my science class right that helps it become clear that help you rain really Orion Sand Point in that direction you want your goals to be measurable so how are you going to know that you obtained your goal when you get there how are you going to know is there a if you get that report card and it has all A's and B's just like your goal was that's measurable if you want to lose 5 pounds that's measurable right if we want to make sure our goals are miserable we want to make sure that they are a attainable I have a goal of being an NFL running back for the upcoming playoffs that's not an attainable goal and sometimes we set unattainable goals and then we beat ourselves up for not getting there so when we are gold and we want to make sure that there are incremental steps for us to get there we want to make sure that the relevant if if I set a goal to become the world's most Nimble ballerina why I'm a school teacher that does not relevant right does it matter to you does it matter to you will it make a difference in your life. Life will it help you ease your suffering will it help you become more successful and is it I think when we set goals often times New Year's resolutions that I want to lead a healthier maybe it's more helpful to say I want to exercise two times a week the next month and then I want to reassess maybe I want to set a new goal so smart goals that you guys have been introduced the smart goal is to take a look your goal that you just said I want you to take a look at your goals how specific is your goal from a scale of 1 to 10 you get to rate yourself right now and and don't beat yourself up the whole point is like identify I make it more measurable should I make my goal more achievable in there a way I want to adjust it and refine it so that I can actually get there so go ahead and give yourself a little yeah I think this is great this is the perfect thing right a little more self-aware coming into our goals we want to really get clear and this small smart goal system is so helpful cuz without clear goals or bound to sort of flounder somewhere in the vague as I get there I don't know and then we don't feel quite as confident so taking a look at this is great seeing some of us feel like poke our goals are specific but a widespread and this is what I love about this mentimeter program as well you can see you're not the only one right we all can kind of strengthen and improve our goals in different ways amazing everybody's out to great a great little insight more the highest rated thing is that you guys feel like your goals are relevant can you set that if I set a goal for Ellie well I know Ellie pretty well if I set a goal for Ruth Cheung who I don't know at all it probably wouldn't be very relevant so take the the power set your own goals awesome is aqua from now that we've gotten this reflection and we would recognize okay we can maybe make her goals more specific you can make them more miserable we can make them morcheeba bulb irrelevant more time base well here's your chance so remind your goal and make it smarter using that frame or that we just did so we're actually going to take like 325 minutes right now to kind of like play this game what was my goal missing and what can I add to it to make it smarter to make it more specific to make it more measure to make it more achievable to make it more relevant and to make it more time down right and then once we kind of refine our goals here and take your time something right we need to rush ourselves breath in yes practice violin at least an hour and a half every day so I can pass my exam in June now I think I'm just going to play Devil's Advocate and I might suggest that's a pretty ambitious commitment an hour and a half every day maybe you want to write into your goal cuz I happens if we don't meet our goal and then we're like a man I miss today I missed a day and we try to give up but you don't stop brushing your teeth just because maybe you missed a day it's consistency it's about coming back and this brings us what kind of back to mindfulness status of beginning again beginning again as soon as you realize you're off your goal as soon as you realize you've lost your intention wake up take that breath you say you forgive you recall your intention for these are incredible then 3 days a week working in two days a week spending quality time with each child for an hour at a time what ago what an Incredible family and here's here's a deal guys feel free to steal these nobodies names on them that could be your goal borrow gold do you like I love that one I just have to try it's been 3 days a week working in two days a week spending quality time with a nice deal that plagiarism looking Emoji if you're if you like that girl right there clicking Emoji if you're like yeah is an awesome Google write in my journal for 20 minutes every other day write a little bit of wiggle room there check in every day how they are really doing I will call parents every day awesome commitment in Austin gold guys now here's what I want you to do as you're clarifying your goals I want you to take like a sticky note or something and stick it right on your forehead. I'm kidding kidding you can stick it on your desk keep it somewhere so that you have a visual reminder of that. and another thing you know is sometimes I like to have little object that I choose like this is my little wooden heart a little object that I choose to be like my goal anchor I'll just leave it on and then one day I'll find out on the floor and be like oh yeah right in the important thing is when you realized you drop your intention it's not beat yourself up it's different it's tough out there I want you to close your eyes for a second just visualize something you're on a nice boat out to sea and you set a goal now you have a map with an x on it and you don't quite know how to get there but you know the general direction that you're heading and the winds are going to start to blow and the waves are going to start to rock you in this direction or that direction and you might start to panic as you lose the horizon line like oh no my goal is. And I'm going this way and what I want to share with you right now is the value of having any attention having a goal the direction you're heading in the value of having an intention intention is like Ryder Wright is how you steer yourself towards your goal it's a way of being in the you can come back to nobody wakes up in the morning and say I'm going to yell at my mom today I can't wait to start some drama or I'm going to get so stressed out and overwhelmed with school I'm going to just start crying and curl up into a ball on the floor we've all been there intention for today let it happen so what are we going to do what are we going to do when we wake up in the morning we're going to remember Our intention we're going to use it as yourself directly towards our goal here we go guys let's keep going are you guys with me emojis yeah you guys are all with me so this is a quote from my favorite classroom aide Yahoo mail other classmates aren't going to hear that but I love all of them but Mr. Lee I was such an honor to work with one of my best friends tell me you guys may have had some interactions with mr. on campus he's an incredibly wise educator and Hero Of Mine He's currently working to get his teaching credential and become an art teacher so we don't get to see him everyday anymore but he used to fit didn't call the dictionary will tell you that intention is a plan to do something which is great a goal without a plan is just a wish but standing tension is what you say it's a commitment to a way of being so for instance mindful kind compassionate Houston's joyful forgiving I mean we can you guys can kind of don't want to you know say all of them but does anybody want to just popcorn some things that pop into their minds and say an intention that pops into their head well it's okay if you do it's okay if you don't I gel so it wasn't intentional at you like to go to Terminal B calm because I get rid of three is the most common goal in our class the Silver brothers in the house thank you Ellie this year I intend to be and at what I want before you Russian type something in let's just say check in with your breath think about what intention is going to most healthy are you towards your bowl and also what like aspect of your goal requires a certain intention a certain way of being that when you kind of get lost or like the challenging you're going to grab hold of that Rudder you're going to grab hold of that thing that that you come back you like oh yeah my intention is to be understanding oh yeah my head unit to be confident we all get bogged down with those negative self-critical fobs and then you like oh yeah when you come back to your breath and you come back to your intention and you repeat yourself Phil Jackson epic Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers basketball coach used to teach are his due to his players mindfulness and he would talk about how after a bad shot or a bad time or a bad call by the referee he would teach his players to come back to the ourselves come back to that steady grounded well-intentioned positive unflappable engaged funny mindful present grateful, assertive energized person that you intend to be reading teach yourself in your intention, and that's what mindfulness is take action to find your breath and to come back to your intention so that you can meet your goals I love that patient is our most are most common one right now that's incredible yeah we're all being tasked with the challenge of being patient right now flexible we're all being taxed without challenges well present happy positive yes incredible incredible incredible incredible great work Bulldogs clarified Our intention we're going to work a little bit backwards question is are you guys raising your hands you want to have to question that you guys are good okay and we've kind of clear declare Our intention and you might explode and say I intend to be 10 minutes your child and just baked items can be burnt out declare your intentions out loud I forget the CEO business Mogul who writes down his affirmations and intentions 50 times a day to remind yourself to refresh himself to be in the world who is committed to being that means we don't make excuses we don't say like is it so hard no still hold on to your intention and you can still be successful so how are we going to hold on to her attention now this is that this is the crucial piece this is the key guys right now we're going to identify 122 to 325 maybe actions that we can take to fulfill on our intentions and let me explain them let me give you an example if my intention is to be healthy I might write on our to-do list right of actions I can take drink water eat organic food take a walk Versailles daily you know if my intention is to become I can put it on there listen to relaxing music take a nap after school you know. deep breath before I started in my Zumba class take deep breath after I exit my gym class right lower my tone of voice when I'm interacting with family members should we can take to get creative and live that you will take two bath for fill your intention and I encourage you guys but drop it into the men's e-meter of course but also write it down write it down and start to brainstorm like what are the strategies what are the best skills that you have to tip a failure in 10 right declaring I'm going to be mindful okay how I'm going to notice the feeling of my feet on the floor I'm going to stop and take three deep breaths every time I feel like it or I'm going to meditate for 2 minutes a day start small right one minute a day yes it was sites right and help them understand my okay yeah that's why I'm trying to be what am I doing to actually fulfill that intention or am I just trying to be the most compassionate mother in the world and yet right I just beat myself up every time what am I doing for myself taking care of myself am I giving myself I need so that I can show up in that way these are awesome awesome listening better right back in Action we can listen right and I would even encourage you to get even more specific I will then with my eyes and my whole body language right or yeah not overextend myself set boundaries I will say no 3 the week how can you guys need that that go hold these are like mini goal I would call these objectives I would call these the objectives that I'm setting for myself so that I can fulfill mine and I'm setting my intention so that I can reach my goal in a good way one of the other things that. We can get into sometimes with goal setting is we're really hyper focused on getting there and we can like totally beat Cubs up in that process so I think she is going to help us kind of stay balanced in the way we're showing up amazing write down my daily schedule check in with my kids on an outing that they would like to do planning backdoor a.m. check in this is incredible you guys are getting the idea are we getting the idea Okay cool so do you feel like yeah this is quickly, take you guys through what does an Amtrak and she looks like cuz I don't want to run out of time for that cuz this is now this is your little object this is yours set a reminder to remember your goal and remember your intentions if it's that little objectives for how you can get there so I am checking look like this and it's something you enjoyed yesterday something your look for 2 today and then you declare your intention it could be the same one you picked today it could change right you're going to have a really stressful day maybe it's to become your going to have a really fun outing with your family maybe it's the president Joyce and it can be more than one also as well feel free to list like 223 even and then you going to put the actions you're going to take and you guys can do this every a.m. as long as it's before 12 it's an am sick and she and you can sit down with your parent with your child as a family you guys can become an accountability partner something that you enjoyed you can talk about you don't have to necessarily write it down either it's for you to figure out how this is going to work best in your family and you can write down and let them out if you're going to take and then later in the day maybe around 4 when like things are starting to break down your like wait a minute did we check these boxes did we do what we intended to do and can we actually just forgive ourselves and use our minds reset maybe walk away go outside take a few deep breaths and start over what a great plan and then the cool thing is you'll check in in the afternoon or in the evening and save yourself for it today right we get to celebrate we we we forget to celebrate ourselves we feel like we're just supposed to show up with our intentions like a small step in the right direction today even if you just avoided making things worse you can be proud of yourself a moment you can remember you can like memorialize something this is a great way to process our day to harvest with top this could even turn into a little Journal that you would look back on one day you're going to be my age and you're going to like opener drawer and you're going to find all these  check Ingram you like 120 waffle time in my life but like look at all these beautiful moments this is Sparta like we want to be self-compassionate we're going to reflect on how well we did with Our intention and that's just information is not a harsh judgment. Critical it's just information like okay and maybe the next day you want to keep something a little bit more close to your heart you can utilize the space however you want this is primarily academic but you can say you know what you want to do for the rest of the evening and set some new intention free read for 20 minutes I want to like go for a walk can we play catch before bed hey I need to finish that assignment before I go to sleep because we don't want things to stock up bright we wanted to clear stuff out of the way so the combination maybe it's something you want to do and it's something you need to do and you find that balance right of like the knees and the and something called shared control which is like kind of finding the balance between the two sometimes you want to do something fun before you want to do your homework and that could be okay as long as you understand you're going to get to your homework and check and see you. does anybody have any questions regarding these check in sheets and like how I'm suggesting to you I can't quite see everyone I don't think so you can just unmute yourself or you can drop it in the chat and I heard I'm happy to answer any questions but I guess people are clear it's it's it's not it's not it's not rocket science it's it's simple it's like it's a routine and the morning practice it the more skillful you'll get with it in the more that you might just make it your own yes roaming yes my question is that these are Great Schools do you suggest that can we print them out for there are kids or out or is it better to like print them I'm sorry copy them and then every every day hey there you can totally make a copy make a coffee and then you can edit on to this sheet and type it you can add I personally and recommending spending as much time away from the as is possible in this in this day in age so if you want to print it out it's wonderful you can also just pull it up and reference it I bet after a few like a week or two of doing it you'll probably have a prophet memorized and actually most powerful as an accountability partnership as something that you guys do together and just like have it be a conversation around the dinner table or something like that right I'm really excited to put that in your guy's hands we're getting towards the end of our presentation today though there was one actual one time that I wanted to make your own are mentally what dbms for core value is most connected with your intention like are you building resilience are you valuing learning with this intention are you making connections with this intention are you showing Integrity I'm curious this one's just kind of for fun yeah it's the name of the game right now is build resilience that's how I feel about it to ya Making Connections it's huge that word has become so important guys resilience right how do we how we weather the how do we bounce back and that's really what we're talking about today how do we use mindfulness to when we fall when we when we when we get off course mr. Be used to talk about how do we perform a course correction give me very intense about there's no right and wrong answers there is correct and Incorrect and if you have an incorrect answer you make a course correction no big deal right for Halloween bounce back and I want to everybody permission right now to ball drop the ball get off course from their intention there is our goal and just forgive yourself and start over we've been sitting for a while I'm going to take a quick pull quick pull how do you guys would want to stand up and do a short little movement exercise a little something that you can do as a family a little fun time she wore okay cool we're going to do it some space alright then this is come back to our time when when when we leave right now big deep breath and raise your arms over your head just pull over pay later feet from me wiggle your toes I know we're going to swing our arms open and close like this criss-crossing and changing just a little bit breathing as you come forward and exhaling as you go back 2021 we got this all right now you're going to grab ahold of this beach ball you can bring it right in front of your belly and you're going to twist what oh there goes the Badcock fxnow all right I want to call the Tai Chi speed a little bit and then you're going to slap your shoulder and while your other hand to your back and you're going to have to wait before I just had to find this rhythm at 9th and lose any time we're coordinating like this we're aligning the hemispheres of our brains the freezing side of the emotional we really need those two sides of a brain to talk to each other bring your right hand or left me and your left hand to your right knee this one is a store that would an ancient screws up the energy 322 1 let your feet settle on the floor notice the energy that you've stirred up getting your balance and bring yourself back to setting minutes right what happens throughout our lives we get worked up a hard start racing and we need to kill self-regulate in mindfulness is a big one of those to bring ourselves back to balance so, sitting back down we're going to wrap up here shortly how to do a quick mindfulness exercise so first what I want you guys to do is just get oriented in your space a little bit more we have a goal we have attention we have actions we can take to fulfill Our intention with feeling really well oriented in our lives in this so I just want you to inhale and look to your left look over your left noticed something go back to the sender inhale look to your right inhale lift your chest look up really see with your eyes exhale back to the middle bring your chin chest and look down spell tighten your core that deep knowing in the center of your belly and turn to the person next to you and state your intention one more time I intend to pee now you're all accountable to each other now right so when he starts yelling you must I don't know might not want to try this but you might want to say like understanding that's okay we can do that with our children as well and we can hold each other accountable and we can forgive each other and start fresh so we have about four minutes left we can take questions or we can do a little mindfulness to just bring it down and kind of great what we've been doing give me a give me a suggestion what do you think if there are any questions would be great to just trying to get a sense for people it's like do this with your family I think it's really important that kind of anyone can share like how they can do this with their family we've been appointed Journey you know through this hour at and thank you guys so much for coming with me on it and I I really do hope that you found some some some value that you eat you got some inside and you're going to take something away and maybe you want to take this moment to make a commitment like let's try the same checking and see how it goes or you know that was strange we're going to lunch at Polo I'm just did it for you guys to fill out if you wouldn't mind is going to go on the screen and it's just really to get a sense of how valuable this was for and but I just wanted to say before we launched the pole Josh this is incredible we have such an amazing asset at our school and took everyone can kind of give a Joshua a virtual Round of Applause or you know I wish these were integrated into my wish my it would be that this where and sprayed it into the children studies every single morning how to say wake up in the day I actually do it during class time because I think it sets the day so beautifully so thank you so much it was really helpful for our children and for our families as well as I know we have a lot of family intentions and family goals that we never were communicate with each other to take the time to write it down so but I do have a question I do you actually just took the words right out of my mind Mr isn't Steve would you mind maybe considering 15 minutes 10 before school starts to have something like this for kids to sign into until I do the deep breathing and like that their goals or whatever it is cuz I think that that check in in the morning would be incredible and it's like it starts rabbit and he's had this or what they're going to carry over and it kind of brings them back to where they need to be so if we can do something like that and have it available I think that that would be amazing I very much with love to my dream is to have an elective in our school and there are some like logistical concerns in regards to like how many kids do a zoom room can support and all so in like potential opportunities for misbehavior in that setting so we've been working on that but you want as long as lechera that PDS team I will bring that up and we will try to put it up the idea was to do it once a week on a Friday as something that happens before we would spin the wheel and could be really fun and it's basically that's named mentimeter presentation that a lot of kids can log into todelar just asked while we were on Neil but I was wondering if you guys had a club and Ajo Sports Club instead cuz I was kind of concerned that kids wouldn't wanna necessarily I join the mindfulness Cloud but yes we should start a club let's talk offline I'm really really grateful at 4 at everyone and and thank you for the affirmation thank you for the affirmation that you guys Thomas valuable and I really believe that there's a huge place for all of this kind of inside of Education we really tend to focus on the academic side of things and the mental intellect and not so much kind of out more heart centered social and emotional learning is really valuable you're free to be honest all like I won't be offended by question to piggyback on bahar's thing if logistically we can do it like a sign on to zoom could you maybe pre-record and maybe we can even get my community credit or something with it would incentivize the kids to do it for 10 minutes or something cuz I think you don't have to say you know Pig mommy said I think it's a good mindset to start the day as a refresher for all of us you know it's great thank you God I think I like I think I will try to put together maybe like guided a.m. check in one sort of generic video that kids could kind of comes to that would be awesome fabulous thank you all right everyone we're a little bit over time but I do want a kind of clothes with a short a short mindfulness moment to just kind of bring it all back down and give ourselves a chance to kind of processing into all that information and inspiration so if you could oops what happened she could just come sitting become still notice what happens when you become still welcome that feeling of fixation I'm stopping what you're doing notifications quiet just find her breath follow in and out be with it notice notice sound in the environment notice thoughts into your head bring it really close real your attention in and notice any Sensations that you're feeling in your body and just allow them to soften with your breath you stay with this for Joe come back to your intention hold that in your mind take one last breath in all together and remember to begin again remember to begin again and keep coming back to that thank you all so so much thank you for the amazing PTA 4 for hosting this event and for all of you who showed up and found value in it remember your goals put them on your forehead or on your desk and that those intentions and declare them everyday you know I like to do this is my last tip when I'm really losing my intention and I totally lost my intention and maybe I'm raising my voice at my I take that breath and I say my intention is to be calm and calm and just declared even if you're not doing it that reminder gives you the opportunity to laugh at yourself and begin again so thank you all so much thank you thank you thank you so much thank you so much thank you good luck everyone. it was wonderful thank you
