  • Being the first female on my mom’s side to get a phd; being the first female to not be a teenage mother out of all my female relatives on my mom’s side; being the first to practice non violent upbringing in both our families (me and my SO).

    Getting a full ride scholarship for all of my academic life: Bachelor’s, Master’s and PHD.

    Getting a green thumb after thirty and having my flowers, shrubs, ferns, fruit trees and succulents thrive.

    Getting on a horse after 30+ years of not doing it after a mare threw me off.

    Quitting smoking cold turkey.

    Working on my self trough therapeutic work to be my most authentic self.

    Exercising regularly for some years now when I came from a family that did not emphasize the importance of body movement.






  • Aways come down to their height level when you talk to them so you can show them and read their facial non verbal language, you want to be on their same eye level but not on their face. Don’t stare or make too intense eye contact.

    Pick a topic and see how much enthusiasm the kid shows, that can be a useful clue to see if you re going the right way with your interaction. Take into account that some kids (and some adults too!) don’t like interacting at all and that is also fine.

    Some popular ones are: Dinosaurs, pets, tv shows/videogames, favorite color, favorite ice cream flavor, favorite song, favorite book.

    Hope this helps.
