They say a writer has their pen, an artist their brush...

A therapist has her chair.

(It feels kinda weird. Just saying)

I love y'all but please don't feed the bears. LOL

This time of year, we see a spike in calls from concerned people who have seen bears that they thought looked hungry or desperate. Yearling cubs who have recently left mom often go through an awkward, lean stage while they’re figuring out how to survive on their own, and this can lead people to believe that it’s a good idea to feed the bears. Please don’t! Feeding them is unnecessarily, cruel, and dangerous.

Bears that are fed by humans, even unintentionally with food sources like bird feeders, pet food, and unsecured trash, will ultimately be killed for it. It happens every single year when these hungry, confused bears do exactly as they’ve been trained to do and try to walk up to people seeking easy meals.

If you live in an area where bears are active, please remove any and all possible food sources, especially this time of year. If you see a bear that you believe is so thin, sick, weak, or small that it cannot possibly survive without assistance, please contact your local game wardens but avoid trying to help the bear yourself.

What’s a step you were scared to take? I’ll go first…

EDIT: Y'ALL ARE NOT SHARING YOUR STORIES! 😂🤔

Opening Little River Counseling was the scariest thing I’ve ever done. Walking away from a steady paycheck and benefits, and trusting that I was enough, felt overwhelming. I told my husband, “It’s now or never.”

Looking back, I’m so grateful I let go, stepped into the unknown, and finally did what I had always wanted.

Took some time to process my OWN counseling session before heading home tonight. These are Dixit cards...another right-brain play therapy technique I picked up from Garrett counseling. Our systems really are magic… and yes, that includes yours too!

Hope you have a good one and it's as restful as you need!
