From a few days ago when I ordered a small part fo

From a few days ago when I ordered a small part for our dishwasher. Such a mundane but long overdue task to search out our model number and locate a reasonably priced replacement rinse aid door latch. It was $20 I didn’t even think twice about and even celebrated a wee bit as I crossed it off my house “to-do” list. To my shock, it was delivered tonight, on Christmas Eve. Even if that delivery person doesn’t celebrate Christmas, I wondered if he was missing out on family time. Was he tired after a full day but still had a long drive back into the city to end his shift? This was certainly not an essential item - we didn’t need this part immediately. In fact, we’ve been without rinse aide for months with very little impact on our day to day. There was no chance to run out and thank him but I hope he felt appreciated today. Even from a long way off. Even through the cold weather and sacrifices. It did not go unnoticed. ✴️ THANK YOU. ✴️ #christmaswiththecovid

Chill chats and laughs on the floor. YouTube galor

Chill chats and laughs on the floor. YouTube galore. Farting. Burping. Skating. Taller-than-your-mother hugs. Treating the house like a jungle gym. 🤼 The next few weeks at home together will definitely be hilariously teenaged. Ready or not, here comes Christmas isolation at home with these dudes. 😏#christmaswiththecovid #wiebebuilds

Yesterday I had 1 errand that was a must but I ran into someone and we talked for 45 min. Turns out we share a similar history and had both grown despite significant hardship. It was healing to affirm in each other how it’s never too late to bloom. It was a good reminder that childhood trauma connects more of us than we think and our time on this earth is meant to benefit others. I’m taking a break from private practice, but if you or someone you know needs encouragement during this time, swipe for a small way I can help. Outside of my full time work, I will make time for checking in with a few of you with a copy of a recent receipt to a local business. ❤️ Email or DM to save a spot for you and/or a friend. #wiebeplants

When we say character matters, it should not mean

When we say character matters, it should not mean that we dismiss an overt liar but welcome a more subtle, placating one. That would simply convey the bar was so formerly low that now it is only seemingly high because of our shared pretending that the medium is the message. We do not say character matters just to accept more sophisticated semantics. No, when we say that character matters we must mean it. #seentodayirl

A pandemic might be a tempting reason to repeat hi

A pandemic might be a tempting reason to repeat history and ineffective practices. When both teachers and students are stressed and learning has been impacted, here are a few things you should know about grade retention.

This quote was given us as the clinical services staff starting in the inaugural year of Manitoba’s first school system under First Nations jurisdiction. I’ll just leave this here. “What we are looking for is not someone who will cut through our dilemmas for us, but someone who will try to understand them.

Not someone who will impose his/her will upon us but someone who will help us use our own will; someone who instead of dictating to us what we must do, will listen to us with respect.

Not someone who will reduce everything to an academic argument, but someone who will understand our personal motives, our feelings and even our weaknesses and mistakes, someone who will give us confidence in ourselves because he has an unshakable confidence in us, who will take an interest in our struggles without prejudging their outcome, who will not allow himself to become discouraged if things get tough and even if we take a different road from the one you would have taken.”
