World White Cane Day: Celebrating Independence and Awareness World White Cane Day, observed annually on October 15, is a day dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of the white cane as a tool for independence among people who are blind or visually impaired. The white cane is more than just an aid for mobility—it symbolizes the empowerment, safety, and self-reliance of millions worldwide. This day emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive communities, where people with visual impairments can navigate the world freely and safely. It also serves to remind the public of the importance of supporting policies and infrastructure that improve accessibility. Organizations around the world use this day to hold awareness campaigns, educational events, and walks, encouraging everyone to recognize and respect the white cane as a tool of freedom. The day also honors the accomplishments and resilience of those living with vision loss. By recognizing World White Cane Day, we not only celebrate the achievements of people with visual impairments but also reinforce the need for a society that champions accessibility and inclusivity for all. #WorldWhiteCaneDay #IndependenceMatters #AccessibilityForAll

This was such a fun exercise! I love seeing everyone's workspaces, they really do reflect our personalities. I cheated, though. We are in the middle of selling our house so my space is much less cluttered than usual. I'm often asked how Fractional Law Firm CMO functions with everyone working remotely. Do I like it? Does our team feel connected? Our team spans 3 states and is growing. We stay connected using MSTeams.link and Asana and Zoom and other tools. I feel as productive and connected - perhaps even more so - than I did going into an office every day. #workingfromhome is not just about getting the laundry done, doing the dishes, going for a run, and picking up the kids (on time!!) - those are all great things, no doubt. But being able to DO those things? On YOUR time? With flexibility? That is the real benefit. ⏳More time = Less stress At the end of the day, time is the most valuable commodity.

"You get out of it, what you put into it." I've found my volunteer work to be so much more fulfilling because I get involved, say "yes," and build relationships with others.

My heart is asking me to listen on sidewalks a lot and double down on writing my book on Sidewalk Talk. And May marks 9 years of Sidewalk Talk. Happy Birthday Sidewalk Talk. 🎂 Holy $hittballs you have taught me a lot. I am doing "book therapy" right now because I want to say some dangerous stuff about our dehumanizing ways. I want to be clear in my psyche as I write. The Identity Trap (yes a nod to Yascha Mounk's book of the same name) we are in right now I will roar about. Listening on sidewalks has chipped away at my reverence to identity obsession while I remain committed to inclusion and justice. I am glad to have sorted how to run Sidewalk Talk sustainably to my spirit while allowing it to safely expand. I burnt myself out three years ago. Lots of soul work, mistakes, learning boundaries. Operationally, Sidewalk Talk has expanded beyond a background checked chapter leader model where folks must pay to be a leader bc the application process is costly. Many just wanted to listen with a friend and not do a chapter. So...Tah Dah...we listened. Sidewalk Talk now gives you the "How To" to grab a friend and go listen in a friend group on the Sidewalk safely and effectively for FREE ... not even needing to be expressly part of Sidewalk Talk. A complete democratization. We still charge money for our trainings on Listening and Conflict resolution and chapter leadership so we can cover operating expenses. But everything else is freely offered. Cool eh? Go listen? www.sidewalk-talk.org
