TIME LAPSE OF MILLIONS MARCH NYC.

I am visible— see this Indian face— yet I am invisible. I both blind them with my beak nose and am their blind spot. But I exist, we exist. They’d like to think I have melted in the pot. But I haven’t, we haven’t.

To protect your energy:-

It’s okay to cancel a commitment.

It’s okay to not answer that call.

It’s okay to change your mind.

It’s okay to want to be alone.

It’s okay to take a day off.

It’s okay to do nothing.

It’s okay to speak up.

It’s okay to let go.

This is the last picture I took with the Brooklyn Pikachu-Açaí Stars, the amazing group of youth I worked with in #Brasil! I still remember that moment when we had to take the picture and some of us couldn't stop crying and laughing at the same time. Missing the beautiful, amazing and dedicated Brooklyn Pikachu-Açaí Stars. You will ALL be forever in my heart. This experience was AMAZING and I recommend it to anyone interested in #coaching #English in #Brazil, trying something new, or stepping out of their #comforZone. I am so #thankful for this experience and now I'm #fundraising $500 for future fellows so they can embark on this experience next year. If you want to learn about my experience and/or make a small #donation please visit my fundraising website www.coloradogives.org/Di_Araujo. #USBC #CoachingEnglish #YouthWork #Educators #InternationalWork #LifeChangingExperience

Will be there! :)
