A girlfriend sent this to me because I decided to take up plant care recently. It can be overwhelming to feel the pressure to learn a new skill or organize your entire house during quarantine; some days just maintaining status quo is a win. I’ve been taking small steps to try to build better routines and habits for myself. Integrating plants into the home has made my space feel more calm and comfortable. Whether you are out there as an essential worker or stuck at home all day, it’s important to have a safe space for a time to reconnect with yourself. What small step could you take toward creating space for yourself?

Black History Month is a timely reminder that we, as parents, have a responsibility to build and repair children’s racial literacy. These are important conversations to have year round to promote our children to be agents of change. Wonderful advice included in this article. Please set a few minutes aside to read.

As a therapist, I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m not a fan of resolutions. Most of us fall short and feel miserable about the failure by mid-January. If you need to make a change, great! Yet as a society, we often follow the assumption that we need to change ourselves or we are not good enough, rather than appreciating the person we are.

Life can be full of unnecessary clutter that keeps me distracted from enjoying the precious moments in life. I’m here to let go of the chaos and remind myself, it’s not that deep!
