May safe travels bless you and your family with beautiful meetings Brad! My husband and I humbly embraced invitations too into Australia and New Zealand for interactive presentations with beautiful people during 5+ visits into that šŸŒ hemisphere. Beyond the unexpected opportunities to expand knowledge of childhood apraxia of speech and literacy while there, we built collaborative partnerships thru every meeting. When we return to the embrace of faraway friends in 2026, our hearts -4ever connected- will overflow! May you and yours also bless and be blessed as you meet and share your great gifts during every meaning-making moment!

I love this :)

What we pay attention to grows.

Right now, I want to grow joy.

Amy Krouse Rosenthal once said, ā€œPay attention to what you pay attention to.ā€ She lived that idea beautifully.

There’s so much begging for our attention, but not all of it deserves to grow. It’s up to us to grow the good stuff and joy is a great start. Joy does this wonderful thing we it’s shared … it multiplies. Yes, it seems like there’d be less of it, but no… it stretches. Joy defies all laws of physics and math and probability and… just grows. There’s a magic to it… the more we share joy, the more there is.

So, alls I’m saying is we could do with more of that.

Brad, I have been a longtime follower of your incredible mission of lifelong joy. You have always inspired me as a teacher. I currently teach some of the most amazing humans on the planet- 2nd graders! We are part of #pinksocks and we too are part of global mission for good. If you ever get a chance to come to Oregon, we'd love to share some with you. Be the good, see the good. #SeeMoreJoy

One of the sparks that catalyzed my 13 city blanket drive this winter was your Socktober. That time you were kind enough to facetime me about my talk at a school was more helpful than you know. Your existence has echoed out in immeasurable ways, so FYI this is one measurement I can confirm.

Thanks for what you do and for expressing it on here and beyond, Brad. It's really really neat to witness and it skews my internal negative bias a little more positive.
