✨ Mental Health Reminder ✨
Check in with yourself today. Are you running on a full battery or feeling a little low? Wherever you are, it’s okay. Some days are about thriving, others are about simply making it through. Be gentle with yourself, rest when you need to, and remind yourself that you are worthy of care, love, and peace. 🌿💛

✨ Your mind deserves little breaks too. ✨
Sometimes caring for yourself isn’t about big changes—it’s about the small pauses. Whether it’s stepping outside for fresh air, giving yourself 5 quiet minutes, or simply focusing on one thing at a time, these moments add up. Choose one today and notice how it shifts your energy. 💛

🍂☕ Fall is the perfect season to slow down, breathe deep, and remind yourself that you are enough just as you are. Just like the leaves, we’re allowed to change, let go, and grow into something new. 🌟

This week, give yourself permission to:
✨ Rest without guilt
✨ Celebrate small wins
✨ Release what no longer serves you
✨ Pour into yourself as much as you pour into others

🍂 This fall, let yourself shed what no longer serves you—just like the leaves. 🍁

Release the weight of comparison, silence the inner critic, and welcome the beauty of simply being present. 🌻✨

Take time to savor small joys, nourish your body and mind, and remember—it’s okay to rest, reset, and grow in your own season. 🧡

It has been a blessing seeing all the initiatives going on in our community to help give our youth a great and promising start to the school year! In addition to our shoe drive, GLFS staff has been busy helping provide supplies in support of Washington Park’s Annual Summer Camp, packing book bags in support of the Reach Initiative’s Backpacks and Lunch Drive that gave away donations in the Greensville County Public School System today, and helping to provide snacks in support of the Back to School Bash happening on tomorrow at the Community Youth Center in Emporia, in collaboration with Terrence Washington and the “We Got Your Back” team.

Together we can achieve so much! Let us continue to unite to help guide and encourage the youth to be the greatest they can be.

To all staff, youth and parents of every school system, we wish you a very safe and successful return to the classrooms and an even better year!!
