Happy Friday, dear readers! I don’t know about you, but this week has totally kicked my butt. I’m exhausted and it is the end of the quarter, which means lots of grading. So today, instead of writing a post that would probably be nonsensical, I just wanted to share a great video.

I really find Brené Brown’s work useful and she is an awesome speaker. This talk, “Why your critics aren’t the ones who count,” really resonated with me this week. I hope you find it useful and inspiring, too. My favorite quote, “If you’re not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I’m not interested in your feedback.” Love it.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I’ll be back soon with more news and notes. Allons-y!
