Spring is here. Time to grow!

It is coming on spring here in Missouri! I can feel it in the air. So can the horses. They are happy to have sunshine instead of snow crusted on their backs.

Beware: Scammers walk among us!

A "Facebook Meta infringement message" refers to a notification received on Facebook, seemingly from Meta, claiming that a user has violated their terms of service by infringing on someone else's copyright, often appearing as a message stating that a post or content on the user's page has been flagged for copyright infringement and could lead to account restrictions if not addressed; however, many of these messages are scams designed to trick users into clicking malicious links or giving away personal information.

Another day of grading. I am always amazed and humbled by the work of my students as they share their hearts and fresh ideas in their journey of helping people heal from traumas, abuse, and neglect. Reading their papers is an honor of the highest sort.

I am happy to be finding my way through all of the provider insurance stuff. I will also soon be able to work with Medicare. Watch for updates! Still have a couple of wrinkles to work out but making steady progress!

I picked up a book the other day "Break The Good Girl Myth" by Majo Malfino

"When we embody her [the good girl], we play it safe, hold back our voices, and don't share our true gifts with the world" (p. 5).

This is a trauma. Just so you know. It may be with a little "t" for those who are able to shine in the roles provided for them. Those who do not necessarily shine in the roles of good girl students, teachers, nurses, and other female-dominated fields may find life boring and frustrating, and as a mountain, they are always climbing.
