Teaching is not only a profession, it’s the ultimate profession. It creates, it nurtures, it defines, and it supports all other disciplines and professions.
Is teaching a profession? Here’s the real definition.
A profession is defined by six things:
Specialized training
A unique body of knowledge
Clear standards and ethics
Professional judgment
Service to society
Ongoing development
Teaching meets EVERY ONE of those criteria.
So why do some people act like it’s not a profession?
Because we’ve spent years undermining the very things that make it a profession:
We scripted teachers.
We standardized everything.
We minimized expertise.
We paid professionals inadequately.
We gave more criticism than respect.
But the truth is this:
Teaching is a profession.
In fact, It’s the profession that makes every other profession possible.

Listening to Bach’s Air on the G String feels like letting your mind slowly settle, your worries gently fade, and everything fall into harmony with the music’s peaceful flow.

Light and basic security matter more than most people plan for once the power is out. Simple tasks get harder in the dark, and a place feels different when you cannot see what is around it. Both become daily problems if you ignore them.
A basic lighting setup and a few simple habits cover more ground than most people expect.
Bases are planning for 90 days. We covered food, water, sanitation, and power. Today is safety and light.

Another big weight in for Bella. She's been working very hard.
That's officially 8.6kg or 20 lbs lost since she came into us now. Incredible!

🚨 How Brazil beat the algorithms to defeat Bolsonaro:
1. Don't engage with any negative right wing content. Don't like. Don't comment. Don't share. Don't quote. Don't engage just to argue.
2. Scroll past it.
Don’t block. Scrolling past it tells the algorithm it’s boring.

If working with sick dogs has taught me anything in life it is that we should all try and live in the moment and do more of what we enjoy.
When I was in ICU battling for my life after depression and addiction I told myself if I got another chance I wouldn’t ever be afraid of failure ever again and I’d forget about possessions and the traditional things the world tells us we need to have or do in order to be happy.
All I could think of was either teaching sport to kids or spending time with dogs. I had no idea that change in outlook would lead me to being with dogs in the way I am now and having such a mission.
Its really hard being caught up in the rat race of life with bills, traffic, health issues, social expectations, stress, anxiety, addiction, missed opportunities, lack of options and every other thing that life throws at us all. I feel so blessed to be able to do what I do. The only small bit of advice I can give is to try and do more of what you love as soon as you can. It could be learning photography, traveling to a new country, getting a dog, opening a cafe or playing sports you loved when younger. Just try and be kind to yourself and do more of what you love.
Big love ❤️

This woman represents most Americans btw.
“It’s hard for me to even believe that anyone continues to support the lunacy of the president. I can’t even say his name. He is outrageously demented. He is sick and he is on his mission about power and greed and corruption. It is truly disgraceful. And for Americans to not be able to see what is going on is truly shocking. All of his cabinet, they are all corrupt. It is just disgraceful.”
This is how every American should feel btw. This administration will go down as the most corrupt, the most divisive and one of the worst in history.

Covid constitutes the largest mass disabling event in the United States since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1990.
Now, the Trump administration’s anti-worker and anti-disability turn has created a climate of fear and difficulty around Long Covid accommodations. motherjones.com/politics/202…
