Lemons

I have a happiness headache because that's just how the Universe works.  I swirl in magic and today is no exception.  After a disappointing start to the day, I was reminded that when life gives you lemons, listen to Sebastian. 

If you were here, you know. 

That's it.

Have a beautiful weekend and if you're headed to prom, be safe. 

Love and Light,
Beltran

P.S. - TED Talks will continue on Monday and at last, we will be back on a "normal" schedule.

Day One is in the Books

I can't out anybody with names but I loved everyone's TED Talks today.  Just the mere act of showing up is difficult, and I wholeheartedly thank all of the Lovelies who presented. 

I offered my compliments in each class but for all of you who didn't get a chance to witness the bowtie and the button down, the sick shoes and style, just know that Room 853 was all about the intersection of purpose and vulnerability.

Kudos to you all.

TED Talks continue tomorrow.

Love and Light,
Beltran

Retta Rocks

A HUGE thank you to Retta for her ownership of today's classes.  The improv games were equally fun and uncomfortable - the perfect intersection of growth.  I hope periods 2 and 4 had fun.

TED Talks start tomorrow and I cannot wait!

Love and Light,
Beltran

Thank You, Clara

Dear Lovelies,

If you weren’t lucky enough to be in class today, I’m sorry for what you missed. The senior class valedictorian delivered a beautiful and informative presentation on all things college. While I know college isn’t on everyone’s agenda, Clara succinctly organized a “How To” for you. I can’t thank her enough and certainly hope those of you in attendance will ACTUALLY THANK HER.

Your TED Talk transcripts were due this morning at 8am. Fingers crossed you didn’t disappoint. And presentations begin on Thursday!

Another wonderful guest speaker tomorrow for Periods 2&4.

Love and Light,
Beltran

Happy Four Day

Lovelies -

Enjoy your 4 day weekend (or 5 day if you started early).  Stay safe and I'll see Periods 1, 3, and 5 on Tuesday.  The senior class valedictorian will be presenting on all things college and I personally cannot wait.

Love and Light,
Beltran

One More Day

Almost to the long weekend, Lovelies.

I’ll see periods 2 and 4 tomorrow so I look forward to that. Thanks to periods 1, 3 and 5 for a good day...from calories of granola bars to dancing to Post-It Notes.

Enjoy the rain,
Beltran

Time for TED Talk Prep

Lovelies,

Can you believe TED Talks start next Thursday? How the heck can that be true when I just met you?! At any rate, it is true so come to class with open hands. Period 5, also come with Post-It Notes if you want some that are not yellow. All I have is yellow.

Thanks for testing!

Love and Light,
Beltran
