It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame

Let's talk laundry. What happens between the dryer and the drawer? If I can't spend time folding it correctly like origami right away, it sits until I can. Because my brain needs correct folding to happen. "Need" means "Has to Have" for peace. Need to organize the mess takes over within 1-2 days.

#heycaregiver Did you show yourself love & appreciation today? You are worth it. Did you speak kindly to yourself in your journal? Did you notice your patience under pressure, your helpful attitude? Did you give yourself grace for being human and less than perfect? I hope so. You deserve your love.

In honor of those of us not enjoying Valentine’s Day, my Heartbreak & The Path to Peace series is free on Substack for 1 week. This course in journaling with self-care self-talk is unfinished, but each part is a stand-alone piece. Hoping with my whole heart it’s helpful. Part I: tinyurl.com/pth2pc
Heartbreak and The Path to Peace
For people who are literally too busy for breakdowns. Also for people who are sick of being stuck in a quagmire of emotions that are getting in the way of living a full life.

What's your favorite soup? Do you make your own? I'm currently obsessed with pureed roasted veggies and homemade croutons. I am not and never have been a kitchen goddess, witch, or otherwise. But I enjoy this task.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

Authors, if you see this, it’s a sign to NOT post the first line of your book where it can be scraped like everything else online. That the A I goons are going to feed it all into their rusty blenders doesn't mean you have to make it easy for them.
This goes double for a WIP.

Hey Caregiver. Why is it so hard to rest when we get hit w/something? I'm always torn between pushing through and resting. Pushing through makes me weaker in the long run. How about you? I'm trying to practice good sleep hygiene and self-care in 2025. It's hard but makes me a better support person.
