I don’t often share or post when it’s important…😂
My amazing 13 year old grandaughter wants to build a skatepark in her hometown in Iowa. There is a grant she has in mind - but fund raising is part of the prerequisite for application. She has started a GoFundMe page as her first fundraising activity and plans are underway for a golf tournament and a raffle! If the story moves you, please send good energy her way or even donate a few bucks!

Hi, My name is Journi! I am fundraising for building a skatepark in my hometown. I was 3 when my da… Journi Lindemann needs your support for Dysart Skatepark

Soooo true. People don’t change unless they see a reason to change…if things appear to going alright to them, because you are compromising and working like crazy to pick up the slack and keep the peace, they think everything is great. It’s not til we change how we act, that they see a problem.

Remember we can never control the choices, actions, and behaviors of other people. Never. So don't waste your energy thinking that you can, instead let them be who they are.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "When people show you who they are believe them." 🖤

When my clients work thru a trauma, one of the challenges is to see the the event happening from their present self. When we are working thru a childhood event, observing that child who persevered and survived that event, and loving them, empathizing and grieving for what was lost, and being willing to be that adult that they needed at that moment. That is how we begin to heal.❤️

I love this. I have handed out thoughts about feelings, like chewing gum over the years.
*Feel your feelings
*Feelings are signals
*There are no wrong feelings, it’s what we do with them.
*Healing requires feeling.
*Sorting feelings is like sorting socks- where is the event that goes with it?
But really this image says it all!

Do you write yourself notes? Remind yourself that you are powerful and intelligent? Lift and encourage yourself with positive words? Why not? Years ago, during a difficult year, I got the idea to write to myself. So one evening I wrote 10 short little uplifting messages. One of them went “Hello beautiful girl, you have something special to offer someone today, it is your mission to figure out who that is and what they need. I know you can do it! I love you, your friend Pat”. I put them in 10 different email messages and scheduled them to pop up at odd times during my work days for the next week or two. I know, you are saying, “how weird! That doesn’t work, they were from you!” But it did work. It made me smile and made me laugh and reminded me of my purpose. Give it a try! Tell yourself the things you long to hear from someone else, the compliment you wish you would get. I think it will make you smile.

Taking care of ourselves is almost an art form. Knowing when to put off a difficult conversation or get it over with. Knowing when to take a break. Knowing how to recognize when we are depleted of energy and all the sparkly stuff that makes us us. Notice your own energy. Notice the energy of others around you. Take care of yourself.❤️

This is the thing about therapy. We start wherever you are. You don’t have to have it all figured out. All you have to do is walk in the door. Then we figure out what you are struggling with, and we take a route that you are OK with to learn - skills, or history, or concepts- or all three. You decide what you want to do with that. As a therapist, I am your guide, but you are the driver.

Enjoy this day, for this is your life.

Letting things go is a gift that can take some time to cultivate, understand and finally enjoy. What can you “let go” of today?

Anne! I love her!
Her enthusiasm for life normalizes my own at times!❤️

"Anne reveled in the world of
color about her.

"Oh, Marilla," she exclaimed
one Saturday morning,
coming dancing in with her
arms full of gorgeous boughs,

✨ "I'm so glad I live in a world
where there are Octobers. ✨

It would be terrible if we just
skipped from September to
November, wouldn't it?

Look at these maple branches.
Don't they give you a
thrill, several thrills?""
