how bright is your LIGHT?

This week we compared self-esteem to the light of a lantern.  When we were born, each of us came into this world as a very bright light- bringing joy to all, as we grew up, we started comparing ourselves to others and began to judge and criticize ourselves or listen to the criticisms of others- this dimmed our lights.  Today we used the light of a lantern to demonstrate how unkind words or actions can dim our lights but ALSO to show how you can make your light SHINE BRIGHTLY by thinking and speaking kindly to yourself, being proud of yourself, doing acts of kindness & generosity.


Rosie Orlando, CPT leading us in Zumba!
 After-school we experienced another wonderful way to activate that BRIGHT LIGHT- through exercise, laughter and time spent with friends!    Rosie Orlando, Fitness Director at the East Hampton YMCA RECenter led us in a fast-paced workout that combined both circuit training and Zumba.
