Show us your “Shelfies”: Election Edition
Woof. Any one else’s anxiety ratcheting up this week? Cause, same. Where are all the spooky faces on oranges and string cheese to distract us?
Want to know what calms my anxiety, like the true SLP (read: Type A daughter) that I am? BOOKS. Reading to my girls. Hoping that enough parents are reading to their children this week, and all the other weeks, about the importance of diversity, love, women’s rights, caring for our earth, kindness, and HOPE.
So run, don’t walk, to your nearest library or local bookstore to check some of our favs out.
