Growth Abounds PLLC

Congratulations Brandon!!! Well deserved for all of your hard work on Rock for Mental Health for Springfield and surrounding communities!

What a great start to this Sunday! Rock for Mental Health, Mental health matters. If you are able, please donate to this great cause. All funds raised go to support individuals who are not able to afford mental health services.

And remember it is free to share a smile or kind word. You never know what type of day someone is having.

For those that were there, we will never forget that day. It lives vividly in our minds and on our hearts. For all those who were too young to remember and all those who have come after, take time to ask someone their story today. 

Hmmmmm, the smell of fall leaves and bonfires 🥰
And You?

Today I am at a loss. Music has been part of my life as far back as I can remember. I loved hearing it. I loved singing it and playing it and it’s tied to some of my most cherished memories with family and friends and especially with my mom who passed just over two decades ago. One of those most cherished memories was her singing in the car with all of her heart and joy, and the song playing was Applejack by Dolly Parton. I was even blessed to see Dolly in concert back in 2016 and she played this song and I think I was one of a handful of people in the audience who knew it and was able to sing along. 🥰
I am sure Dolly is going to be so busy in heaven meeting all the people who want to welcome her, but I’d like to think that somewhere along the way Mom‘s going to go have a conversation or a good old sing-along.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of those who loved her and her music and who grieve this loss. Her fierceness and femininity were powerful and one in the same. She lived a life that reminded us all to go after our dreams, serve and love others,  and find the joy in everyday life. So that is my challenge for you. Be like Dolly in one way, every day. 

Contribute to such a great cause! You can also join us in September!!! 🥰

I do not know where this summer has gone or how it is already the next school year, but let’s start it off with intention. If your school or workplace would like to know more about a framework training to help staff intentionally make choices for optimal engagement and success, reach out to me and learn more about the Abound Framework: The Practice of Durable Presence.
