For the families carrying more than most people will ever see: may you be met with a little more patience, a little more kindness, and a whole lot of love. ❤️

Kindness is never small. How we treat others says everything. 🤍🌿

What a difference two years can make. 💚 California became the 12th state to pass PANS/PANDAS legislation with Aidan’s Law, AB 2105, and today 17 states have taken legislative action. We are incredibly proud of the families, advocates, legislators, and supporters who helped make this possible.

We’ve made progress, but our work is far from finished. We will keep advocating for greater awareness, physician education, earlier recognition, and better care so that no family has to fight this hard to get help for their child.

Every voice matters. Every family matters. And we keep going. 💚

Two years ago, we came back stronger, and today we stand stronger than ever, shaped by every challenge and defined by every comeback. 💚✌️

Two years ago, we came back stronger. 💚

After the veto of AB 907 (Aidan's Law), families across California could have walked away discouraged. Instead, we came back more determined and more united behind AB 2105 (Aidan's Law).

We came back for families tired of being misunderstood, marginalized, dismissed, harassed, and even slandered simply for advocating for their children.

Most importantly, we came back for the children and youth.

For those who continue to bear the consequences when the adults and systems entrusted with their health, education, and well-being refuse to listen, refuse to learn, or refuse to act.

This photo reminds me that advocacy is not defined by a single bill, a single veto, or a single legislative session.

It is defined by the people who keep showing up.
We showed up then.
We are still here.

And we will keep showing up until California’s children receive the understanding, protection, and care they deserve. 💙

Literacy is more than learning to read.

It is discovering that words can take you somewhere you have never been. That a story can make you feel less alone. That someone else’s life can become a little more understandable when we meet them on the page.

As founder of Rosewood & Quill Press, I believe deeply in the quiet power of books. To open minds, preserve voices, awaken imagination, and help us understand one another.

Every reader deserves that possibility.

Every story begins with the chance to be read.

On International Literacy Day, may we keep putting books into hands, stories into the world, and possibility within reach. 🌿

📖 A little history: International Literacy Day was proclaimed by UNESCO in 1966 and first celebrated in 1967. This year marks its 60th anniversary, six decades of recognizing literacy as a fundamental human right.

This is incredibly special. 💚

For those of us who advocate for children and families affected by PANS/PANDAS, moments like this mean so much.

On October 9th, Niagara Falls will shine green for our children, our families, and a community that has worked tirelessly to be seen, heard, and believed.

Every light, every conversation, every physician who chooses to learn, and every policymaker who listens moves us closer to a future where no family has to fight so hard for recognition and access to care.

We still have important work ahead, but this is what progress looks like. Awareness is growing. Voices are getting louder. Doors are opening. Change is happening.

We are so grateful to the advocates who continue to carry this work forward in New York and across the country.

The light is getting brighter, and together, we will keep it shining. 💚
