Grateful for a full-circle moment last Friday. When I stepped down from the @ASCAtweets board, @CWelch_SC filled my spot to complete my term. I later became ASCA’s on-site trainer for grief & loss, and was honored to present in Christy’s district on Friday!

And supervised the lunchroom for 20 years. You do not leave that job with a full head of hair. Trust me.

The fact that Keith Richards has outlived Richard Simmons really makes me question this whole healthy eating and exercise thing.

I’ve got a long list of things I’ll do as our next Governor.

But something I won’t do: back down to extreme politicians in Jeff City.

They banned abortion in our state — I’ll fight to restore that right.

Let's build a better Missouri, together.

A labor of love. It took me longer than I planned, but the completely updated ASCA U Grief & Loss Specialist course is FINISHED! New resources, new perspectives, new learning. The updated 50-hour course should be live in the next few weeks. ASCA members, check it out! #ASCA24

#ASCA24 is only a month away! Get #FiredUp for all the fantastic learning opportunities and lifelong connections you’ll find in Kansas City. It’s much more than the city where Taylor’s boyfriend plays football. Check it out!
🔥 Hope to see you in KC 🔥
