Be Careful Little Ears What You Hear.

It's challenging to NOT get wound up about a thing or two these days.
One stake I would like to lay is that little kids should be given the chance to PLAY.
Take the device away, shut the power down and go outside.
Listen to the birds......the traffic......inspect a passing beetle.
PS Fellow parents of little people:
Take some coffee or tea, you're probably gonna need it.

Enough is enough 12/14/24
I FINALLY filed my LLC paperwork. It's about dang time!! I have personally and professionally had enough. Enough being trapped within a system that dictates limitations. Enough accepting burnout as a status quo (both for myself and my brilliant colleagues). Enough being able to "help" only according to what will stack the pockets of corporate giants. Enough hearing experience after experience from caregivers about a lack of support from colleagues in my field who are likely suffering from clinical burnout. I FINALLY filed my LLC paperwork and CAN'T WAIT to see what transpires...
