My friend Mitsy’s essay is appearing in a new book by Jill D. Austin called Tranformative Leadership: Self-Mastery for a New World. If you want to read her full story (a beautiful one indeed) go to https://akarola.substack.com where you can find this one and all of my posts, so far. Her essay brought tears to my eyes and allowed me to think of what a difference we make in children’s lives. As an International Administrator and School Psychologist, I always tried to emphasize to the teachers how important their kindness, compassion, and understanding was in the lives of their students. Mitsy’s story shows how love transcends age and distance. It shows how sharing in the joys of a child and becoming part of his world can be healing for everyone —- incluing those of us who are reading this story.
Thank you Mitsy for sharing.
