Hello butterflies! I have finally found the perfect space for us to come together and for me to make modules in. The power of networking is amazing as that is how I found this space. A friend on Owwll was telling me about GoBrunch. You can purchase templates or design your own room. I'm starting off with a template and then for the podcast will design a custom room which will solve my technical issues I've been having! I am sooooooo exctied I'll be offering a tutorial on it soon and will begin recording content to put here in our classroom. I couldn't wait to share the space with you! Feel free to go in and take a look at it. Check it out: https://gobrunch.com/parentsupportnetwork See you in the classroom!

Hello Butterflies! Hope you all don't mind that but I have called my friends butterflies on all my other platforms so I thought I would use it here too. We are all in a state of transformation which is why the butterfly is so important to me. Having said that, I want to remind everyone that our Parent Power Hour is Mondays at 4pm EST. Come with questions or ideas for the group. Let's get things moving and shaking! Here is the link to join: meet.google.com/ivf-scdv-yij Hope to see you there!

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃to those of us is the U.S.! If you’re like me you have been prepping and cooking already. Today will be a crazy day till the evening but a day filled with love and family. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 I wanted to take the time to thank all of you for being here. This is the start of a dream 💭 for me and I’m so grateful for all of you. What are you grateful for today?

The next few days in the U.S. will be pretty hectic for most....cooking big Thanksgiving dinners, having family over, then maybe some Christmas shopping. So I thought I would ask today what you are grateful for? I am grateful for my kiddo for many reasons but a big one this year is because he brought me here to you all in this group. I don't know if many of you know, but it took me seven years to have him. For a long time I feared I would not get to be a mama. Then he decided it was time for him to make his appearance into this world 👶and my life has never been the same since. Without him, I don't know that I would be here in this capacity. It's my drive to help him that is my hope to inspire other parents. Much love during the holidays to you all. Amid the chaos and craziness your gratitude can make all the difference in the world. I know families can make for interesting gatherings but we must remember to treasure them. As I write this I remember the last Thanksgiving with my dad. He came to our new house and insisted on having the turkey legs. 🦃I am so grateful I gave him those turkey legs and that I took one last picture with him. His first and last selfie. A few weeks before he had walked me down the aisle with my son to hand me off to my husband and a new life. A few weeks after Thanksgiving he was unexpectedly gone. I don't write this to make you sad. I want you to be joyful for me that my dad got to walk me down the aisle and that I got that last picture with him. And what beautiful memories I have of Thanksgivings with my parents where friends and family👪 would rotate to our house all throughout the day. Now I'm grateful for our kids and the Thanksgivings we have with them. What are you grateful for during this holiday season?

As we have been following along with Jared I wanted to share with you the first time his eyes were really opened to the power of networking. 🤝 After the director from OTCO met with Jared he told him he wanted him to come to a workshop that evening so that he could meet some of the people working in the municipalities. At first, Jared couldn't see the value in going 🧐because after all, he was just a high school kid. But his mom told him he should go and off he went. 🚙The director took Jared under his wing and introduced him to so many people that night. Jared walked out of there with projects to work on and he hadn't even started‼️ That one experience showed Jared the value of networking and all that can transpire from it. In our next post I'll have to tell you how the power of networking helped me get my job at the non-profit. How has the power of networking benefitted you in the past? Share your story!
