Advocating for my kids in school, sports and life. You see, they both wear bilateral hearing aids. There is so much ignorance around hearing loss. Even with hearing aids, the wind can make it hard to hear people because of the added amplification of the wind noise. Are they ‘not listening’ or is it that they cannot hear you? Are you talking to them with your back to them?
My patients. I am a nurse and work with people who use drugs and struggle with mental illness. There is so much stigma and discrimination this population of people face. Sometimes when their voice is silenced it is our job to speak up.
For myself. I know what I bring to the table as a friend, employee & family member. I won’t be treated less than. Know your worth.
I believe in bucket-filling (a little twist on the bucket list). I want a platform to share my artform(s) that already fill my bucket. I have the degree(s). I survived the young child rearing years. I've landed the leadership dream job. It's time to fill my bucket. Focus on what lights my fire. Rebranding this blog (yet again) to meet me where I am at in this journey called life. I will share my creative writing. I will share my photography. I will share my thoughts on this crazy journey we call life. I like to keep it real. I refuse to live up to "the image". I don't use filters. What you see (read) is what you get. I hope you enjoy the read and I will try to balance what I share in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I keep this blog for me. You (my imagined audience) are an awesome bonus!
