I had the pleasure of travelling to Washington, DC Feb 24-26, 2019 for he National Association for the Education of Young children (NAEYC) Public Policy Forum.

I received training in Public Policy and Advocacy and had the pleasure of visiting “the Hill” to talk about funding early education and care. There are so many people fighting for early childhood.

I am aligning myself with the folks that are elevating this career I chose and continue to choose!  Working with like minded people keeps me present and focused in the moment. I can soak in my surroundings intentionally. Surrounding oneself with people who know more than myself really ups my game and for me fires me up.

I am thankful for my early education tribe and will continue to learn from those will more skills and expertise than me. A shout out to the organizers of this event and my travel partners from the great state of AK.

Keep fighting!

What are you “fighting” for? What fires you up?
