This month I would like to share how we can find peace through photography. I will post some photography that has given me peace. Please ...
Spotlight on a previous student- Patrice Carter
I will always remember Patrice for her kindness. I never heard her say anything bad about anyone, so I’m not surprised that she is working as a Mental Health Therapist (School Based). She is able to provide mental health services to children/adolescents while at the schools. As needed, she also helps out with outpatient services during the summer.
She chose this occupation because of all that is going on in this world. She
wanted to make sure that our children/adolescents are equipped with the right skills to cope. Every day, I see the need for this. With a pandemic and so much violence in the world, it is not surprising that more and more children have had mental health issues, and need help.
Her career as a mental health therapist (school based) allows her to do just that, while in a school setting. She is very passionate about mental health and enjoys being a part of the process of witnessing first hand how children/adolescents begin to thrive when given the correct tools, guidance, and encouragement to utilize those skills. She also provides a listening ear to help guide them through the challenges of life. She said at times her work can be very challenging, but Patrice never gives up on these precious children! I’m so proud of Patrice and so happy she is working to help children who need someone like her, who is kind and compassionate. Thank you, Patrice for making a positive difference in our world! Our world is better because of you!
This week for peace, I am going to color in some of my photos using the app color scape. I also love using adult coloring books. Try it, and see how relaxing it is and how quick you can create something from a photo you like. This is my first one. This is the app.
Spotlight on one of my previous students- Katie Fuller
I’m so proud of Katie! She is practicing family law in her hometown. She believes in giving back!
I remember Katie in fifth grade. She was a great writer, loved to learn, and was kind to everyone. She always had a smile, and I knew she would use her talents and gifts to make a positive difference in our world. Thank you, Katie!
As a lifelong resident of Childersburg, she feels a profound sense of responsibility in protecting the interests of Talladega County and its residents. She believes strongly in the idea of community, and works to foster an environment that strongholds the ideas of tradition, heritage, inclusion, and service. She practices family law, because she values family above all else.
Her office operates on the principle of providing flexible and supportive representation at reasonable rates for her clients. She handles all types of family law matters, and her approach to each case varies greatly, depending on her client’s needs and preferences.
I’m so glad Katie is here in Childersburg!
This is what I am doing this week for inner peace-
For 5 minutes-This is what I am doing for inner peace this week- Keeping a Gratitude Journal and listening to music
Write down at least one thing you are grateful for. Pray and thank God for this in silence. Listen to one song while just resting. Think about the words and what they mean to you.
