Andrea Gibson

My heart is so full today! Thank you Governor Polis. Thank you Colorado. I’m so excited to learn and grow and create together. ❤️

It brings me so much joy to announce that I will be performing live at the Paramount Theater in Denver on May 30th and May 31st. Presale tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10am MDT at andreagibson.com

Self-sacrifice is knitting a sweater for the cold shoulder of someone who doesn’t notice you are freezing. Love is a mother putting her oxygen mask on first, but holding her breath until you have on yours’.

I’m very excited to be teaching poetry to 3rd graders this upcoming week. I’m currently preparing my lesson and am looking for one more age appropriate poem to share. If you have a favorite poem for 9 year olds, please share. Thanks so much everyone!

Those who do the most growing in this life are those who offer the most compassion to the parts of themselves that have not yet grown.

“If it scares you, look closer” Just found these words in the notes on my phone. I didn’t write them. Don’t know who did. But to whoever did, thank you.

My partner just said something genius and then said, “Hey, even a broken clock is right once a day.”

“Judgement is to confuse someone’s unconscious behavior with who they are, or to project your own unconscious behavior onto someone else.” - Eckhart Tolle

You fear you are not strong enough to do the hardest thing only because you don’t yet know that doing the hardest thing is exactly what will help you know your strength.

My sister gave me this dog seat for my car but the dogs didn’t like it.

We save each other with our love! 'At the beginning, when you were sick, we stood at the edge of the vast escarpment, the sudden drop-off toward what we did not know... And yet. The hope we took in that cold view cast far beyond us.' Minnie Bruce Pratt, from 'Magnified' (2021)
