When A Child Walks Into the Room...Do Your Eyes Light Up? - Toni Morrison

I loved reading this. 

A child, an adult, someone you know, perhaps an acquaintance, maybe even a stranger... People can feel the energy you’re radiating in person or via your tone over the phone. When I first read the piece that included this quote, memories came to mind, thereby cementing the truth of this statement by Toni Morrison. Ever since, I have tried, particularly with children, to let them know I’m elated to see them when they come into a room.
All the best with your day, folks, and with the brand new shiny month. May you feel seen and valued when you walk into a room and, in turn, may your energy do the same for others. Cheering. You. On.
