In fact, just yesterday, I shared with my entire school one kid’s writing, a review of The Four Agreements, because it served as a powerful reminder to me, a gossip and a snark. He (Luis) talked about the power of words and how we start to believe insults and view ourselves and the world differently. He wrote: “Words are like dark spells that can’t be taken off a person. People who put these dark spells are also under the spell, and they keep passing it on because they believed what people said to them and they need help.” Pretty much anymore, the only really valuable lessons I learn about getting by in this world come from kids. Thanks, Luis. Thanks, Sophie.
