Every now and again, I’m jarred by a simple act of humanity. Immense thanks to the staff member @AdventistHC who rather than going through the motions of making an appt, took a moment to recognize the emotional toll of the bigger picture, and offer words of support 💕 #community
Huge thanks to @RepublicTakoma for the amazing surprise treats for the Girl Scouts out on this rainy day. Another reason to love and support local business! #hotchocolate #frenchtoast #bestbiscuits

Just try not to smile. Only @StepAfrikaHQ can make a public health message with this much flair. There’s a reason they are DC’s cultural ambassador. #MaskItUp #StaySafeStayHealthy

Anyone missing a bunny?
Replying to @ArlingtonNatl
@ArlingtonNatl I found this stuffed bunny outside the gates of the cemetery and near the @wmata entrance. It looks like a cherished childhood keepsake. Can you both spread the word and let me know if anyone reaches out looking for it? I have it home safely with me. Thanks!
Thank you to the amazing #womeninSTEM panelists hosted by @gscnc. Inspiration and motivation to help the Girl Scouts keep making the world a better place 💚 The advice that rang through loud and clear for my scout? The importance of resilience and self-motivation. (1/2)

Start when you are young. “Be kind to yourself. Learn to be a good advocate for yourself. Take the long view when you face setbacks. Don’t give up.” Well said Katherine Barbeau 🙌 (2/2)

The fatal accident happened a block behind our house. The community has advocated for years for improvements. The intersection is by a school, church, and daycare. A 21 year old is now dead. What does it take to bring change? Sign the petition.
Neighbors, if you continued to be concern by the lack of response from @DDOTDC to years of safety concerns on Piney Branch and the death last night on that road, please consider signing this petition asking for safety improvements: chng.it/C5y2PbjYmR

There is no better gift than true happiness. To see that on the face of your child when her @dcpublicschools teachers make a surprise visit to distance celebrate finishing the @TakomaEC school year, well, it can’t be beat❣️ #FourthGradeRocks #lifetimememories #ThankYouTeachers
