Shared Vitality

Kids are people too. We need to remember we all have triggers. Kids are still learning and developing so hopefully we manage our emotions differently, but often the triggers are the same

Anyone who is helping anyone with a degree or is a friend, this is a great lens to support others through,

When we support connection and relationships of safety, we support a child's nervous system and challenging behaviors decrease naturally.

Beautiful spot to be the night before a training. I’m going to take in as much of this view as I can today. Excited to launch a new training we developed IN Reach. A training for leaders learning about mental health and how to have supportive conversations.

Heading into the long weekend! Getting ready to do two of my favourite things! 1. Gardening 2. Watching my son play baseball ⚾️ I got a head start on the gardening today. Cut my tulips before the storm came so I can savour them longer. Cut some rhubarb to make something delicious! Planted some annuals for a pop of colour and got all my herbs in! Little actions we take today can give us things to savour later. How are you investing in your well-being?

What a great example of what the human condition needs sometimes, just someone close In proximity.

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.

There was a pause.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.

"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."

"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.

"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."
A.A. Milne

Sending thoughts to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you.
