Shaaa! Not my dreams! Because even inanimate objects speak! I fly without wings, I run without moving, I speak with celebrities hundreds of miles away! It’s all kinds of crazy!

but as something I could someday do too. Maybe that’s how it starts, when awareness meets readiness.

It’s true what they say, some books don’t reveal their message until you’re ready to receive it. Reading her describe climbing Kilimanjaro b4 she’d fully prepared made me visualize it for the 1st time, not as some impossible feat for extraordinary athletes

Beyond Awareness: Truth Heals. Awareness is the first step, but understanding transforms lives. Myths about PTSD silence those who need help most. Healing begins when stigma is replaced with compassion. Join us in fostering understanding & support for mental health.

Hard truth: You’ll have more critics if you strive for excellence than if you settle for mediocrity. Average is addictive. It’s applauded by the crowd. You won’t be criticized for staying the same. You’ll be encouraged. Criticism is the cost of entry for the life you want.

Fresh twists, forehead who? 😌🌀
I redid my regular twists today but knowing I can’t keep them longer than a month or two, I was there brainstorming with my salon lady. Asking if it’d be a great idea to try pencil on my next return! This woman touched my forehead and said “You have to think again” 😹

But the good news is, she said there’s a type of pencil that might work! I should look forward to this next session so I see that pencil!

Fortunately, they were right. When you surround yourself with high achieving individuals, you have no option but to catch up.

Staff trained in mental health gain empathy, confidence & skills to protect themselves & those seeking help. In our recent training, @Birah_sharon guided participants from refugee-led orgs in practical, safe ways to support mental health. How do you support staff well-being?

Even praise can backfire if it emphasizes behavior over the child. Too much of it turns into control, and resistance follows. Counterwill can be so strong that kids (and even adults) may make harmful choices just to assert independence. A kind reminder: connection > control.
