I was “ordered” to take this down. However, I have never been one to give in to bullies. So, I’m posting it again with some clarification since I’m apparently being watched.

1. Hi there 👋
2. The original purpose, and what’s still the sole purpose, of this video was/is to show the many different religious and cultural backgrounds of law enforcement and other first responder families. We all just want to be able to celebrate with our loved ones.
So, please enjoy us celebrating the first night of Hanukkah “together.”

My husband and I attended the 3rd First Responders Ball by The Forster Foundation. We had a wonderful time with our great friends and colleagues. We had the honor of meeting Urban Meyer and I also had the honor of chatting with Shelley Meyer, and she is an absolute treasure!

If you’re not familiar with The Forster Foundation, please take a look!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Omg…
Wtf kind of workout did I just do?!

Sorry all, I was going to try for something more witty and corny but that class absolutely kicked my butt!

As a social worker, mental health therapist for first responders, and wife of a police sergeant, I will not apologize for speaking up and advocating for those who are asking for help but feel ignored. Feedback directly from those whose overall wellness you say you value should always be welcomed, valued, respected, and seriously considered when you’re in a position of leadership.

I wanted to join in on the fun and I put in the caricature prompt but ChatGPT said it didn’t “know me.” So, I said I’m a mental health therapist for first responders who lives off of coffee and chocolate. The progression just cracks me up!

I hope you all had a gentle and healthy holiday season!

Can anyone help me understand why these numbers jumped? Why did my last video supposedly get so many views? Asking for a friend who doesn’t understand technology 😅🫣

No matter your religion or belief system, it’s no secret that in first responder families, we have to be flexible in how and when we celebrate holidays.

Last night my husband was working. So, during his goodnight call with our boys we lit the candles on the Menorahs and said the prayers for the first night of Hanukkah.

Tonight, we will do it the same way. We will celebrate the miracle of Hanukkah.
