Ellyn Neal Favors
and Principal Tracie Washington at
Billy Earl Dade Middle
have always been so supportive of 2 Inspire Peace from the very beginning. From the time I asked to start a mindfulness after school program, to attending their Health and Wellness Fair, to now giving me the opportunity to create an experience for the excellent teachers at Dade Middle School for Teacher's Appreciation Week. Mrs. Favors and Principal Washington made sure that everyone knew that the teachers of Dade Middle School were the best teachers in the nation and that they DESERVED to be pampered as such.

Back in 2005, when I began teaching, I could not have ever imagined that in 2018, I would be where I currently am. Since my first year teaching, I have always wondered why those that dedicate their lives to serving and educating our youth were hardly celebrated, supported, or even paid well. Being a teacher is incredibly hard! If you don't have a passion for it, you won't last very long, and if you do, you'll be absolutely miserable. Teaching is a calling and a ministry. I had the pleasure of teaching in special education and intervention for 11 years. As the years passed, I was always surprised and disappointed at the lack of support or even respect given to teachers all over the country. When I created 2 Inspire Peace, one of my goals was to change the narrative of teachers everywhere who felt unappreciated, unsupported, and overwhelmed. I wanted to advocate and be a solution for dedicated, underappreciated teachers everywhere, beginning in a small way in the DFW metroplex.

I could not have made this experience more perfect without my friend
C Elizabeth Guest
who provided meditation, yoga, and mindful movement, and
Blazen Flair
!
Brittany Baltazar
rolled in deep with her tribe which included Dwanaj with
Ego Tripp Hair Lounge
,
Kimbra LaShon Coiffure
,
Amber Louise Cousin
! These ladies are not only talented, but have incredibly dope energy! They donated their time and talent for not just a couple of hours, but we were there from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to ensure we loved on everyone before leaving! We loved on the teachers so hard by providing chair massages, hair styling, facials, makeup application, hand massages, meditation sessions, yoga and mindful movement, a root beer float and brownie bar, stress free teas, meditative coloring, a charging station, and electronic massagers in the chairs, and aromatherapy galore, all to create a peaceful positive pampering experience for working so hard all year for our youth.
My dream came true yesterday. I am beyond blessed. My cup is continuing to overflow as I find that serving and loving on others further inspires peace and creates abundance. Gratitude to all who made this experience what it was, I could not and would not have wanted to do it without you. It was such a positive, calming, and confirming experience for me, and I took joy just to have the opportunity to serve and see the look of relief and awe on each educator's face as they walked in to receive us. I am absolutely honored to become what I wished for when I was a teacher. I don't have an adjective for this feeling!

is in BUSINESS! She has taken control of her purpose and has birthed a vision to share with the world. Together, she and I, have worked diligently to heal past life circumstances that have allowed her to be here at this moment. And if I must say, she did not PLAY with any of it! She has worked hard! Spent many late nights up working on how to better herself for others. She has sacrificed and gave. She has donated her time and resources to others less fortunate out of the goodwill of her heart KNOWING it would manifest to greater moments.
Well, this is her greater moment! We often time host showers for the need of the new life that will be birthed. This is no different. Niki is taking this thing to a new level hosting quarterly
2 Inspire Peace Presents: The Educator's Lunch and Learn Part Deux
and even hosting her very first retreat this summer. She has supported many and now we have the chance to support her. To love on her the way she has loved on many effortlessly. So that when this NEW level is birthed, she will have the basic needs to assist her thru.
We all can attest she has been a faithful wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. And now, that her vibrations are even higher, we will send that positive energy and love right back! That she may pour it into everyone she meets!
Come out and meet the new and improved Niki! The mentor to many and founder of
2 Inspire Peace
. Hear about her goals, play a few games, win a few prizes, test a few of her products(YEEEES she has products), mingle with family and friends and feel the vibrations!

This week's meditation is about finding peace within the assessment era. I found that the time after spring break and before summer break were the hardest moments to find peace. Please vibe with this meditation to find your Happy Place within all of the chaos and anxiety this season can bring. Be Blessed!
