Just this morning I posted a blog on behalf of my writing client and dear, dear friend's website. Donna, who has ALS, is pictured gazing out at the ocean on her recent get-away for the holidays. Donna is a truly amazing lady --- married to a wonderful man. Donna blesses everyone she knows with her infectious positivity and warm and generous soul. I just felt like sharing this!

Got my flu shot and my Covid vaccine this morning and donated blood for a research project Kaiser is conducting. Now it's time to get busy on the computer for another meaningful afternoon.

As we observe , take a moment to reflect on your well-being. Self-care is crucial to success—whether it’s getting enough rest, finding balance, or seeking support. Explore available resources and remember, asking for help is a strength. Find tools to support your mental health at nami.org/MIAW.

Because I work with groups I'm frequently reminded that there are always those who push boundaries. As a facilitator of various groups, I'll admit I'm aware that there will always be folks who want to push the boundaries. So, I thought the words below are a lovely way to say why boundaries are important. Happy reading!

My heart breaks for Donna Ballard Connery, a beautiful friend who was recently diagnosed with ALS. Please visit her website:

https://donnaslifejourney.com.

The purpose of her website is not only to tell the story of this incredibly talented woman but to offer hope and strength to others. I asked Donna's permission to post this on my page so please know this post comes from my heart.

The ALS Association estimates that the cost of care for persons who have ALS is approximately $250,000 annually. So, while she is NOT asking for donations if you feel called to donate to Donna's care there is a donate button. If not, that's ok, too but if you would like to visit an INSPIRING website, please check out Donna's Life Journey.

While my heart is heavy this morning following the Supreme Court's latest decision, I still believe this is the best country in the world. I support democracy, I support our military, I support the Police, and most of all, I support my fellow citizens. Please have a SAFE and HAPPY 4th of July!

Happy Heavenly Father's Day to my Father who I miss greatly and Happy Father's Day to all fathers everywhere for all you do for your families. Also, Happy Heavenly Father's Day to my late husband who was a very caring and loving father plus a special shout out to my son who is an incredible father to his four boys! Hope each of you have a day filled with peace, love, and recognition.
