Someone gave me the best compliment while l was expressing frustration about programming and support for families and ppls selfish motives and lack of passion and follow through. She said Bee some ppl are in community and you are in relationship with community. There is a difference, what you do and offer ppl can't even fathom because it would take too much of them. She is right I am completely 100 percent in relationship with those I serve and support. They are my sisters and brothers and their families are my families which is why the resolution is a necessity the way it would be for my own. I dont know how to halfway show up nor is that a skillset I desire. That is the gift of tears of hope and yes sometimes....a lot of times there are tears but we absolutely never lose hope

Today was blessed! Our first parent workshop of the year. I struggled with what to say and how to say as I navigated the struggles my families are facing. You are looking at a room of super heroes! They are parenting differently-abled children with autism in the midst of a civil war based on hate and they are doing it amazingly! We poured our hearts out today and left all that garbage in the room. We will protest by practicing and not letting anyone steal our joy and peace from our homes! Sometimes I really can’t believe I get paid to do this (we had a full house my other parents were virtual)

I love this! Javons mental health case manager Kallie (I love her) said to me "we also have to remember, joy is also a form of protest, they are literally trying to steal our joy and we cannot let them" I have always leaned into experiencing joy but there is a level of guilt around that when ppl are struggling and sad and in fear but we have decided to continue to lean into joy and share that joy with others! I am adding joy to the list of ways I protest and support ❤️ Join me in experiencing and sharing joy today
