Sometimes it takes a true leap of faith to do something that excites us. We have to put down our doubts and do it anyway, hoping for the best while willing to be grateful for the journey alone. Kind of reminds me of pulling out of the diagonal parking spaces in La Crescent sometimes! Flying (although that was a relatively short lived hobby) used to be that for me. Before that, going to graduate school! Or I suppose, having children!? What chosen challenges have you overcome and what ones are you still debating taking on?

*Credit to my friend Patrick Casale for the rhetoric of "doubt yourself, do it anyway."

There is an abundance of research supporting the idea that pets can improve our mental health. I might have gone a little overboard at my house, but here are my critters. Spread some smiles by sharing pictures of your furry, and not so furry, friends!

I have once again freshened up my play therapy room at Skyward Counseling here in La Crescent! While I love working with teens and adults, this play room is begging for more littles to come on in! All of the toys, big and small, including the play theater, dollhouse, and now play kitchen have been intentionally chosen to best support the play therapy process. Beyond individual therapy, family therapy and therapy focusing on helping parents of kids of all ages is truly one of my favorite parts of my job 🙂

What is everyone reading?! Has a book ever changed your life? Do you have a book that you reread? A book that has helped your through some tough times? Please share!

I am currently reading these two. The first has definitely been beneficial for my mental health thus far and I would definitely recommend.

Illusions by Richard Bach is my all time favorite. A short easy read that I have reread over a handful of times when I need to check in with myself. Ironically enough, this philosophical book with airplane pilots as the leading roles keeps me grounded.
