This is absolutely beauty. What society could we have, if only we were more like bees.

Because in a hive, crisis doesn’t create chaos—it creates leadership.
And maybe there’s something in that for us, too:
That greatness isn’t always a matter of blood or title.
It’s what happens when someone ordinary is given extraordinary support.

Let’s feed each other better futures. 🍯
Let’s raise more queens.

🐝 When a queen dies, a decision must be made.
Not in panic. Not in fear.
But with purpose.

The hive doesn’t collapse. It adapts.
From a sea of ordinary larvae, a few are chosen. Not because they’re special. But because they could be.

They’re fed something extraordinary: royal jelly—the nectar of transformation.
And that’s where the magic begins.

This isn’t fate. It’s nurture.
One larva, fed with care, becomes what no one expected—a queen.
Not born. Made.

She’ll live longer. Rebuild order.
And where there was silence, she’ll bring rhythm again.

Because in a hive, crisis doesn’t create chaos—it creates leadership.

Play therapy is a wonderful approach, and there are many reasons to love it! Here are a few compelling ones:

1. **Natural Expression**: It allows children to express their thoughts and feelings in a natural and engaging way, making it easier for them to communicate what they might struggle to articulate verbally.

2. **Creative Freedom**: Play therapy encourages creativity and imagination, enabling children to explore their emotions and experiences through play, art, and storytelling.

3. **Strong Therapeutic Bond**: It fosters a trusting relationship between the therapist and child, creating a safe space where children feel comfortable to explore sensitive topics.

4. **Fun and Engaging**: Unlike traditional therapy, play therapy is enjoyable for children, making the therapeutic process less intimidating and more approachable.

5. **Holistic Development**: It supports emotional, social, and cognitive development, helping children build important life skills while addressing their mental health needs.

6. **Empowerment**: Play therapy empowers children by giving them a sense of control over their environment and experiences, which can be incredibly healing.

7. **Family Involvement**: It often includes family dynamics, helping parents understand their child's behavior and emotions, leading to improved family relationships.

Self medication and ADHD should be researched more. Let’s ask more question about a persons experience.

There are a lot of brilliant people of who dropped out of school, have difficulty in relationships, have difficulty in jobs, have difficulty in understanding and for this reason they turn to self medication which leads to addiction.

Yes I know there are other causes, but I choose to approach people with this compassion because if we demystify the need for self medication we can help them manage prescribed medication to resolve the problem they were trying to tackle on their own. I also choose to work with children and families who are just learning of this diagnoses bc if we poured into the child and the parents we wouldn’t have to punish the adult in the future. Let that sink in.

This school of thought makes me loved by my clients but hated employers. That paradox makes me sad.

❤️ Creativity creates Unity.

Deyra Barrera, a 49-year-old Mexican singer and mariachi performer, ended up on three songs from Kendrick Lamar's new album 'GNX.'⁠

“My skin gets goosebumps because all of this happened so quickly for me... I want to cry. This is taking me by surprise.”⁠

Barrera spoke to Rolling Stone about how it unfolded. Before her encounter with Kendrick, she was tapped by the Dodgers to sing at Game One of the World Series.⁠

Within days, she was in the studio with Kendrick Lamar's team, where they played her beats and told her what they were looking for. “I had no idea what I would record. I make mariachi, not rap," she said. "They told me they wanted my style, my voice. I had no idea how it was going to end up on the record.”⁠

Her vocals made it to “wacced out murals,” “reincarnated,” and “gloria.”⁠

During her time in the studio, Kendrick came through and met her. “He welcomed me and was so kind. He said, ‘You have such a powerful voice. Thanks for coming.’ I had no idea what to say. Lamar is a genius, a maestro. Everything he makes is magic.”⁠

Barrera says she will take advantage of this "God-given moment" and hopes that it opens more doors for her.⁠

“I know Kendrick is going to do the Super Bowl Halftime Show... imagine if he invited me to sing with him? That would be incredible. I hope people know that it’s Deyra Barrera who is on these songs.”
