If you want to view it as a race, think of it in terms of a marathon, not a sprint. Train as much as you can. Do a lot of practice runs. Slowly increase your mileage. All of those shorter steps will get you to the finish line with blisters or dehydration! Promise!

When life is heavy, just getting up in the morning can feel difficult. In moments like these, meeting your most basic needs takes real effort.

We hope you remember that taking things one day at a time is okay. 💙

No matter how wonderful a foster home is, it is still hard on children. Having another adult in their lives to mentor them and give them a steady presence helps them understand people care. Can you be one of those persons?

When youth in Pennsylvania’s foster care system turn 18, they age out, often stepping into adulthood without the support many of us rely on.

That’s where mentors step in. Our mentoring program connects young people with caring adults who help them navigate life skills, education, careers, and everything in between, while reminding them they’re never alone.

Let’s chat! 💬

What advice do you wish someone had given you at 18?

Put those electronic devices down, do something else--anything else--to give yourself a break. Breaks are not only okay, they are absolutely essential.

Whenever I share that I'm taking a break from the news, someone always tells me that it's important to stay informed. I agree. Kind of. It is important to stay informed but not on an hourly basis or even a daily basis. When I'm over-informed (a.k.a. overwhelmed), I can't take effective action about the things I care about.

It's also important to consider how you are informed. I don't "watch" the news or news clips or video shared online. I read the news. I choose what I let into my heart and soul and how I let it in.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, take a break from the news, social media and the internet whenever you want. Being uninformed for a minute allows you to feel the way you want to feel instead of living in a reactionary state 24/7.

There are always bad days and bad weeks--sometimes, bad months or years. But here's the thing--if you open your eyes in the morning, its a new day. And that is hope.
