📷: A sneak peek of me in my virtual teaching setup. Making do with what we've got and pretty fortunate to be able to work this way. Excited, however, that it will be getting a big facelift in a couple weeks!

 What's that old saying about opinions? Well, everybody's got one 😉 I'm back with more #MondayMusings
The beauty of age and experience is that you learn not to care about everyone else's opinions. I now have a much easier time wading through the muck to find constructive criticism that will actually help me grow and that is a skill I try to help my students cultivate. More often than not, someone's opinion of you and your voice has much more to do with the person doling out advice than the person it's meant for. When you hear advice or opinions on you and your work ask yourself: Is this coming from someone I can trust? Do they want to see me grow and improve? Or are they serving their own agenda?
