A Sneak Peek of what is to come this week. I have been working on there's more those designs are just hiding.

This is the reminder that spreading a bit of kindness, by giving others a bit of grace helps spread beauty, exactly as because of the rain, our flowers bloom, and trees come alive.

So hold that door, give someone homeless on the street a buck, or a bottle of water, donate those old clothes in your closet, anything. You never know how big of an impact 1 tiny gesture can make in someone's life.

Be the reason someone feels good about themselves and not the reason they cried today.

Do you tend to Dilly-Dally or Lollygag?

I myself perfer a good Dilly-Dally because then I know I am intentionally avoiding something with meaningless tasks.

Usually, if I am procrastinating on something I am Dilly-Dallying.

What about you, let me know in the comments. While we are at it what is your favorite way to Dilly-Dally, or Lollygag? Mine will be in the comments.

Ever struggle with feeling like you haven't made it where you want to be in life?

This cute collection is a great reminder that even the tallest most mighty of trees didn't get to be so strong without, outgrowing where they were planted, and striving through hard times.

So just like the world around us that we love so much, we need space to grow, so give yourself some grace, love, and understanding and soon you will be a mighty tree in the forest.

Ever feel the need to remind people that questions are ok, as long as they come from a place of truly wanting to learn more abo how your mobility devices help make your life easier with whatever disability you may have?

Ever get tired of telling people their line of questioning doesn't further raise awareness and acceptance around your disability and the devices that make it possible for you to function?

Ever get tired of telling people that just because you're young, or that because you may not look disabled doesn't mean you're not?

This shirt is a great reminder for people that exercise, prayer, age, and more don't makeup if someone is or is not disabled. Remember that just because something works for them doesn't mean telling the 20-year-old with a wheelchair to run more because it will build up their leg strength and then they'll be able to do whatever they couldn't because it helped with their arthritis.

People with disabilities deserve as much respect, and to feel seen, and understood as much as everyone else. They work so much harder at those things than the average person and the things they have to overcome daily that regular people don't should make them more than worthy of feeling like a whole person.

Absolutely this!

Kids are still learning how to regulate it's up to us to give them the tools to cope with life. These are absolutely great tools to think about to lay that foundation to teach them better. You have to know better to teach better.

REFRAME THE BEHAVIOUR - Kids do well if they can. Finding and understanding stressors, unmet needs or deficits in skills is the key. A great visual resource here summing up the approach Dr Dr. Ross Greene writes about in my work and the book The Explosive Child, which is phenomenal and a great resource for parents of highly sensitive or PDA children ❤️

One of my favorite designs I have done so far.

It is so simple yet says a lot!

It will also cause a stir to a lot of people who can't get over their own prejudices to realize that people of all ages can use mobility devices for so many reasons.

It's incredible how many people feel like it's their place to tell others what mobility devices they can use, and when, without ridicule. Maybe it's something that is just common where I live, maybe it's a Pennsylvania thing, maybe it's a US thing.

I don't know but I do know that parents shouldn't be told "keeping your child in a wheelchair is child abuse, let them go play" (something I over heard at one of the parks recently have a mother told her child who had recently been in the hospital that they needed to stay in their wheelchair per Drs orders).

I personally have had people telling me that I don't need my various braces, canes, and other aids that help me function because I am too young to be disabled.

I have seen even with my own children they have had people telling me that their chew necklaces the things that help them regulate are inappropriate because my kids aren't babies anymore.

So if ANY device that someone uses to help make them a more functional human bothers YOU then check your ableist biases and then speak to someone using any device to improve their quality of life.

If you want this it drops on Sunday in various forms. Not sure what all this design will be on so we will see.

This is so funny to come across since just last night as my husband was looking for my Eeyore Costume from 2019 because our 11 year old wants to be Eeyore this year.

As he was looking (and couldn't find it), I was teasing about how I have stuff from the Jurassic days. Then I said I NEVER throw anything away especially clothes, I said just look at half my wardrobe I've had it since High school😂.

Does anyone else have trouble getting rid of stuff?

Also for those wondering yes the stuff from High School does fit, and yes I still wear it.
