A lesson from the banana tree. When the banana tree begins to bear fruit, it needs support for the fruit to mature or the tree will topple over. The same applies in life and business. You are not meant to go it alone. You need support to thrive. So grateful for my current dream team in BambuSparks, as we grow to fulfill the vision of building legacy and changing lives. #bookspiration #WhenTreesTalk #successtips #transformationtips

Friends of the Children moves mentorship beyond the volunteer realm, allowing us to make a long-term commitment to youth and their families. What does that feel like in practice? Watch youth, their families, and their Friends describe it -- and try to count how many times they say words like "fun" "good" "support" "progress" and "love": https://lnkd.in/eiSEuZKe #FriendsUtah #OneChildOneFriend #PutChildrenFirst #FriendsoftheChildren #MentoringMatters #MentorsMatter

Braille: Empowering Lives, One Dot at a Time Today, on World Braille Day, we celebrate a revolutionary invention that has transformed lives, opened doors to knowledge, and built bridges to independence for millions of visually impaired individuals around the globe. Braille is more than just a script—it’s a language of empowerment. For those who cannot see, it becomes their way to read the world, navigate challenges, and dream without boundaries. 💡 Imagine this: Every raised dot represents freedom. The freedom to learn. The freedom to express. The freedom to lead a life of dignity and independence. But the journey doesn’t end at just providing access to Braille. True inclusivity means breaking barriers, ensuring accessibility, and empowering individuals to reach their fullest potential. As a society, let’s pledge to: Make Braille materials accessible in every classroom, library, and workplace. Advocate for universal accessibility in technology, public spaces, and resources. Celebrate the achievements of visually impaired individuals who redefine what’s possible every day. Braille reminds us of the incredible strength of human resilience—how the absence of one sense doesn’t limit the ability to create, inspire, and thrive. This World Braille Day, let’s not just commemorate Braille. Let’s commit to building a more inclusive, accessible world where every individual, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to shine. . #WorldBrailleDay #BrailleIsStrength #EmpowerThroughBraille #InclusionMatters

Are you a grandparent hosting your long-distance grandchildren, or a parent traveling back home with your kids? Wouldn’t it be wonderful for the kids to have a thoughtfully curated collection of books to enjoy during the visit? Grandparents may not always know what each child is currently into, and picking out the right library books for their arrival can feel a bit daunting. Here’s a simple solution: Grandparents, consider sharing your library login details with the traveling parent. This way, they can select books in advance based on the kids’ interests, and you can easily pick them up before the visit. A little preparation goes a long way in making the time together extra special! #distancefamilies #publiclibraries #library #beingadistancesonordaughter #beingadistancegrandparent #longdistance

Growing Up Aspen - Adventures of the Unsupervised Twist and Turn Press https://lnkd.in/gMADwC2p The power of community is a transformative force that lies at the heart of any vibrant and resilient society. In a small town like Aspen, where close-knit relationships and shared experiences are part of its essence, the importance of community cannot be overstated. It is through the strength of community that individuals find support, connection, and a sense of belonging, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. As Aspen continues to evolve and grow, it is crucial for new residents, particularly those with financial means, to recognize the privilege they hold and actively contribute to uplifting those who are less advantaged in the community. This book is written from four kids that went through the Aspen School system and write about the impact the small town of Aspen had on each of them. Learn as they show how Aspen can be that indicator frog for other small tourist towns. Growing Up Aspen is a great time travel through the 70's and 80's.

**Ridging Barriers, Building Futures 🤝**   Braille is much more than a writing system; it serves as a vital bridge that connects individuals to essential opportunities in education, personal independence, and effective communication. 💡 On this #WorldBrailleDay, let us take a moment to acknowledge the crucial impact of Braille in dismantling barriers that hinder access to information and resources for those who are blind or visually impaired. By promoting the understanding and use of Braille, we empower individuals to pursue their educational goals, foster greater self-reliance, and engage fully with their communities. Together, we can strive towards creating a more inclusive world where everyone, regardless of visual ability, has the chance to build a brighter future. 🌟📚 #BrailleAccessibility #BreakingBarriers #InclusionMatters #WorldBrailleDay2025
