Today is a Day of Wonder and Light

May this day of renewal, light, joy, and hope find you well. May serenity settle into your soul, and may magic creep into your mind and blossom new opportunities.

While not everyone celebrates the Solstice, and for very valid reasons, may we all be able to embrace the wonder of this day and spread the kindness and love we all deserve.

So many Tiny Moments and Genuine Joys.

Dungeons and Dragons Class and our Dungeons and Dragons Master Class were a massive success!!

These classes ran for the first time this Fall Semester and brought together many new people of all ages. There was also a great deal of rolling of dice, laughter, and intriguing discussions held at our tables.

These moments only capture a minimal amount of the details, but honestly, it was an unforgettable time that ended with so much that will lead into our community's future.

I am so excited to run more sessions this February and long afterward in future collaborations with the Parker PACE.

I am so incredibly happy to announce I won the Colorado Big Idea Contest!!

My idea for using Table Top Role Playing Games to help introduce the community to the local resources, state programs, and to help job seekers develop job skills reached the top vote landing me at 1st place.

There was so much incredible support for my idea, as organizations, individuals, state employees, and friends who stepped up and highlighted it's worth.

However, while I was not certain my project would win, because of everyone who voted I most certainly knew it held value in its ability to be applied practically.

This program also has new eyes on it and in coming months it will begin to be implemented.

Thank you truly for your kindness and support.

Today is a Day to Celebrate and Look Beyond the Surface.

November 19th is International Men's Day. This is a day to look beyond the surface level of the men around us. To observe the silence behind their smiles, and to honor their quiet strength.

In a world that so often expects men to be silent in their Mental health journey, we need to come alongside them and listen. This is an act of empathy, purpose, and love, while honoring the men we love and admire.

This is also a day to honor those men who serve as loving fathers, uncles, friends, and warriors by taking their hand and lightening their load. To offer a cup of tea, to make them laugh, and to help them feel valued.

We must remember that no journey is linear, not all pain is quiet, that even warriors need cheerleaders, and that hope is for everyone.
And for those men reading this, please know this stranger you have never met wishes you healing and support for your day.

The world needs fun

With everything going on, all the sadness, worry, and stress, fun has never been as crucial as it is now. Fun is a rare, wild, and beautiful thing that frees the spirit, motivates the mind, and encourages healing. 

As a professional Game Master and Storyteller, I cannot overstate how much I have seen this to be true. Whether it's rolling dice, crafting art projects in class, or simply making dorky and ridiculous jokes, healing truly happens in these moments.

This is not therapy, or escapism, but embracing a raw and magnificent moment of enjoyment. Our minds are not meant to be spent solely on happiness, especially since happiness is so fickle; however, we are meant to spend our time in community, in laughter, and in release. These fleeting moments deserve to be cherished and felt fully. This, too, is not selfishness, but a renewal of all that makes a smile. 

So today, embrace your fun, laugh freely, and choose to seek those things that go beyond happiness and lead to healing.

Today is a Day Of Celebration!!

I am now a member of the Colorado Neurodiversity Chamber of Commerce! This is something that I have worked towards for much of the time my business has been active; yet, there have been many moments when I told myself, "Someday this will happen."

Now, after all this time, I can contribute to their incredible work, inspire my community in new ways, and elevate my work to new levels. I am thrilled to join this fantastic community and contribute to another business that serves the Neuro Spicy Community.

Hello all!

Today, we have October's Dungeons and Dragons Themed Stickers! These are for all of the wild and proud chaos gremlins out there that want to sport pride in their nature. With our current "My Familiar" line, we are highlighting the beauty and magic that come with our sidekicks, while honoring what makes them shine. And this month, we want to shed light on how our more chaotic allies can truly be among the best, either in combat or on a boring day.

You can download them as a PNG below for FREE! Could you let us know how you showcase your Chaos Gremlin Pride by wearing these stickers?

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month!!

As part of this, I am helping to put together a Nadeam panel in collaboration with Colorado APSE to highlight Disability employment and some success stories in the community!!

I will personally be the Moderator/Facilitator of this panel.  However, there will be many amazing panelists whose skill sets range from a variety of unique lived experiences. 

If you want to join, the graphics have a scannable QR code.

October 10th is Global Peer Support World Celebration Day!!

As a trained Peer Specialist and someone who works with many other Peer Specialists, I cannot understate the value of those who work in this field. This field is built on empathy, compassion, and experience-based care. This experience enables us to relate to those we work with, supporting them and providing the knowledge to create pathways to success.

While the peer support community is still growing in numbers and recognition, it is widely celebrated for its wisdom and the approach of its community members to care. Additionally, many have actively sought peer specialists to receive a different model of care.

Today, I encourage everyone to learn more about Peer Specialists, to continue your wellness journey, and to consider exploring this model of care if you want to become a part of or seek support from this community.

Finally, I highly encourage everyone to treat themselves well, to embrace their best life, and to apply empathy towards all.

Self-care is a gift to our future, spirit, and community.

September is Self-Care Awareness Month. This is the month to reflect on our worth and the power of our voices and to care for ourselves as we would others.

Despite the narrative arguing against this, we all deserve to step back, comfort ourselves, and gently honor ourselves. So often, we are the warriors fighting for others, the advocates championing better care for the community, or even the battle-tested workers dealing with an onslaught of complaints. Yet, this is exactly why we must heal, rest, and recover.

It is your time to chase that exact opportunity, to be present in the joy of tea, a fluffy sweater, or even a day of solitude, as there is no shame in seeking comfort.

It is my hope that no matter where your battleground, or cavern of worry, or humble,  hectic schedule, you may find the peace, the heart, the home where you can celebrate yourself this month and always. If only for a moment, a minute, or an hour, may it become yours.

August 28 is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day!!

This day is meant to reflect on, honor, and hold true the memories of pets and family members we have lost.

While it may seem minor or insignificant, I urge you to change that mindset. Pets are often not just fur babies we love; they are the truest of connections. They are warriors helping us in the community, protectors in times of fear and worry, and ultimately mental health companions that cause us to better take care of our own health.

While no pet should only be remembered one day a week, or reduced to only being significant on special days, may this day offer healing. As I am sure the pain and sadness like this can bring, it can also offer a sense of closure and reconciliation.

So today, in honor of the fluffy, scaly, spikey, or even temporary pets we had, let us all move forward with the strength they wanted us to have. May our hearts heal a little more in the true memory of these friends.
