Grateful for a full-circle moment last Friday. When I stepped down from the @ASCAtweets board, @CWelch_SC filled my spot to complete my term. I later became ASCA’s on-site trainer for grief & loss, and was honored to present in Christy’s district on Friday!

Kid President turns 21 today.

And supervised the lunchroom for 20 years. You do not leave that job with a full head of hair. Trust me.

The fact that Keith Richards has outlived Richard Simmons really makes me question this whole healthy eating and exercise thing.

Thank you to everyone who made the time in their #ASCA24 schedule for my Modern Grief Work session yesterday! It was quite the crowd and I love connecting with everyone! #griefwork #grief

Our latest ad, out today! 📺 I’ve got a long list of things I’ll do as our next Governor. But something I won’t do: back down to extreme politicians in Jeff City. They banned abortion in our state — I’ll fight to restore that right. Let's build a better Missouri, together.

A labor of love. It took me longer than I planned, but the completely updated ASCA U Grief & Loss Specialist course is FINISHED! New resources, new perspectives, new learning. The updated 50-hour course should be live in the next few weeks. ASCA members, check it out! #ASCA24

#ASCA24 is only a month away! Get #FiredUp for all the fantastic learning opportunities and lifelong connections you’ll find in Kansas City. It’s much more than the city where Taylor’s boyfriend plays football. Check it out! 🔥 Hope to see you in KC 🔥 bit.ly/4ehOZo9
