"Don't change, extraordinary one. You're going to light this place up."
— Rachel Macy Stafford

Children Who Shine From Within

Children Who Shine From Within
In this moving tribute to her daughter, Rachel Macy Stafford reminds us to look for the light within all children. "And it's that time -- time for back-to-school outfits, team tryouts, classroom assessments, and after school clubs. The Butterflies will be noticed. So brilliant. So colorful. Their talents so obvious. But let us not forget the Fireflies. Their triumphs are quiet and unsuspecting. Their gifts might even go completely unnoticed...Don't wait for someone to hand him an award or a give her a certificate to make their talents and gifts 'official.' That day may never come. So say it now. Say this: I see your light."

Be the Change

Do you know a firefly child, one that shines from within? Tell them today that you see their light. Encourage them to keep shining.
