Got to hang out with some extended family today and met the coolest little girl.
She's not quite 3 years old and everywhere she went she had a big smile and said hello repeatedly to everyone.
Literally smiled non-stop for a few hours then gave everyone a huge hug when it was time to go.
I'm not sure what 2025 will look like but I hope I can be even be 1/10th the person she is this upcoming year!

From my book: Here’s what helps me decide whether to support sites for harm reduction: I try to imagine if it were my son/daughter/sister/friend who needed such a place. I might hope someday they would recover from dependence on substances. But 1st, they would need to stay alive.

Stan Houston is one of those quiet, thoughtful types.
But when he speaks we all listen. You should too.

First Nations patients more likely to leave ER without getting care, study says -- and anti-Indigenous racism is a significant reason why, a new study says.
"The stories are incredibly powerful," said Patrick McLane, the lead author of the study

22% of people in state prisons today were homeless/in transitional housing when they were arrested. The data is clear: One of this country’s leading responses to homelessness is incarceration.

Many palliative care models don't meet the needs of people who are experiencing homelessness or vulnerably housed. To improve access to safe and high-quality palliative care, communities across Canada have designed innovative models of equity-oriented palliative care.

We spent time seeing their beautiful, home-like space, exchanging knowledge & experience in building culturally safe, trauma-informed, & harm reducing approaches to care for structurally vulnerable people. We look forward to future collaborations. Thank you for the warm welcome.
