🌱✨ Existential thoughts can feel so heavy: “What does it all matter?”
I love working across lifespan development, with adults and kiddos. A toy dinosaur reminded me of something important when working with an adult client. 🦖
Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, doing nothing more than eating, surviving, and eventually disappearing. And yet… today they spark joy, curiosity, and awe.
Meaning isn’t always grand or cosmic. It’s in the small ripples we leave behind:
💫 stocking shelves so someone finds their favorite snack on a hard day
💫 teaching a young mind
💫 putting a flower pot outside that brightens a neighbor’s walk
💫 letting someone by who may be in route to an emergency
You matter. Even in ways you may never see.
And sometimes, it takes a plastic dinosaur to remind us. 💛
