Day 1 💜💜💜💜💜

Today we kick off lupus awareness month. Day 1 Wellness Check in💜

💜🫶🏽

I hope everyone found a bit of joy and happiness this weekend, got some self care time in, and are ready for the new week ahead. Nothing bad happened today, so I’ll call that a very good day! Boring but good! Early appointment in the morning at the doctor’s. I told the receptionist since she couldn’t get me in later, and I don’t do mornings well at all, to expect me in my PJs. She’s buying me a cup of French Roast!! Frequent flyer perks, I guess 😆
Sleep well, sweet souls, and we’ll see you tomorrow! 🌝😴💤💜Beth 🟦

Many enter the field of Social Work with the intention of making humanity their career. Many will find themselves further from the heart of the field for various reasons. We like to view the life and work of Dr. King as a reminder of purpose, intentionality, and inspiration to stay true to Social Work. We hope that today you will take the time to commemorate his life and legacy and show up for service in celebration.

Your scars have meaning! 💜
