When I grow up, I want to be an artist

What You Do Is So Loud – Free Printable

What you do speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say We’ve all heard the saying, “Actions speak louder than words” or “I may not remember what you said, but I’ll always remember how you made me feel.” Sometimes we get so caught up in going through the motions; we forget to show people…
