For all families seeking new Sensory Friendly Events in Parker, Co!

I am sharing a new flyer for my friends at " The Third Place for Kids."

This is a Sensory Friendly Storytelling Event that celebrates movement through stories. It is meant to inspire pride, mindfulness, care, empathy, and creative thought processing.

The first session was an absolute success and the kiddos loved it.

The Storyteller is a Sensory Friendly Event Specialist with an emphasis on working with kiddos.

This event is also designed to help kiddos embrace their love of creativity while building real life skills like match, creative expression, kind communication, and empathy.

Kiddos are welcome up to about 9 years old and we welcome families of all kinds.

The next date for this is the 28th from 10:30 am to 11:30 am.

Their address is 18860 Clarke Road unit #111, Parker, Co, 80134.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

July is Disability Pride Month!!

The Disability Community is often ignored, left behind, forgotten, and judged. However, this community is built by strong, mindful, and creative individuals who work hard each day to make our neighborhood, workplaces, and schools more valuable.

Each member of this great community also adds a beautiful and distinct voice that, when shared, adds valuable insight and wisdom to the world. While it can be easy to ignore those voices, sometimes it is far too easy, and those speaking up do not give up. They fight, struggle, share, and advocate as warriors.

So this month and always, let us all take the time to honor this community, to listen better, and to fight for the rights of this community. May we all learn, grow our understanding, and act with genuine empathy. This work should not end after July, but be carried further into a brighter future.

The Colorado Community Continues to Step Up!!

I recently had the honor of being a vendor at the " Sensory Dayz Resource Fair" in Denver.

This resource fair was a truly beautiful reminder that smaller events have value and that good work can be done at any level.

This event was filled with laughter, joy, and truly heartfelt moments, during which youth and adults alike felt supported and valued.

Colorado is a community that genuinely cares about those in need and works diligently to support everyone.

The Colorado Community Truly Cares!

This Saturday, I attended the Guiding Bright Minds Resource Fair, working for Colorado APSE to spread the word on the Employment First Movement.

If you do not know, the Employment First Movement is dedicated to Equitable, Purposeful, Sustainable, and Passionate work for all, no matter their lived experience. I deeply believe in this cause.

I also met many wonderful new organizations, returning friends, and future community partners. Each person had a truly amazing spark and a genuinely kind heart.

The Colorado Community Truly values those who seek to help those in need and truly values the continuation of progress within community services. I am so proud to witness the evolution of community services and see new people fighting for those in need daily.

Does Art Find the Heart?

One of my favorite aspects of humanity is creativity. We have the profound and wondrous ability to craft and develop new things. And in creativity there is the ower to bring beauty into this world.

So often people miss how creativity and beauty can impact our work, how they can fuel each facet of our mission to help and to heal. Yet, creativity has a brilliant ability to do just that. To uplift, to inspire, to motivate, and to create compassion.
