I’m not terribly outgoing about politics and will probably not discuss it outright on this blog, but I will admit that the current political climate has given me much food for thought both personally and professionally. Although I do feel strongly for fighting for women’s rights and am grateful for those who fought to give me the rights I have today, I am not striking in protest (at least not intentionally, the weather is scary enough that I couldn’t get to my office and had to cancel).

As a counselor, it’s my job to help people, especially women and girls heal from the traumas they have been through. Skipping a day deprives them of a chance to receive help and that is against my personal and professional code of ethics. I am wearing red (as is the Husband) in solidarity; however, and this Wednesday post will feature red as well.
