Beatrice

I did the Blogging for Beginners’ course online supplied by Australian Writing Centre. Well actually I have done only 2 modules. I was so keen here I am giving it a go! Was hoping for a great stunning heading but see I need to investigate that later.

My Primary Teacher for 7 years was beautiful Beatrice. Eyes twinkling she taught me about unicorns. ‘They’re really real’ she said. Anything she said was true, just was!

I’ll always remember this gem of humanity. She helped me experience belonging. On many mornings we met at the hat rack where she chucked me under the chin and merrily chortled ‘Good morning Uni’. That merry eye gaze and warm greeting meant the world to me. Later she coined the phrase ‘unionealone’, directed it at me, and I absorbed the love - you belong, unique, precious, you matter.

I know it’s true for me and all of us. I love to pass this belief along to others for it is life affirming, impelling, inviting one to be the best of their real selves to the world. When I look at perceived weaknesses in others my lens is blurred. Seeing potential is possible for every human being on the planet.

BEATRICE.....I salute you!I’d like to share a few more Beatrices with you!
