It is very good for establishing perspectives" https://padlet.com/mmarriott7/ecf0dd90uf7z74u4/wish/1582545049 2021-06-03 13:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mmarriott7/ecf0dd90uf7z74u4/wish/1582545049 I decided that I would do 100 crunches. In the beginning I was kind of tired but I got them done. One I reached high numbers, I started to get tired. It was definitely a little bit of a burn but I got through it. I felt accomplished after getting them done. https://padlet.com/mmarriott7/ecf0dd90uf7z74u4/wish/1582545079 2021-06-03 13:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mmarriott7/ecf0dd90uf7z74u4/wish/1582545079 We can learn to work and speak when we are afraid in the same way we have learned to work and speak when we are tired. https://padlet.com/mmarriott7/ecf0dd90uf7z74u4/wish/1582546090 2021-06-03 13:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mmarriott7/ecf0dd90uf7z74u4/wish/1582546090 The fact that we are here and that I speak these words is an attempt to break that silence and bridge some of those differences between us, for it is not differences which immobilizes us, but silence.
