Wow. It’s been a marathon few weeks since the H3SD 2024 Summit. We finished the summit but I had agreed to speak at the Early Childhood Mental Health Conference which is a big regional conference in San Diego. It had been weighing on my mind, and I had agreed to do it in order to give an opportunity for someone who I am mentoring to speak. But in the end because we all live in our own realities of jobs/family/illnesses, we had to pivot and I ended up speaking with one of our premedical students. I am a believer in if things are meant to be , they are meant to be. And the talk at the end stages went fantastic. We were both definitely at the right place at the right time, and with each other at that moment.

We both delivered and I progressed on my thinking of so much of my environmental health work and thinking. I re-watched another recent talk I gave on indoor air pollution which actually was really good – now that I’m rewatching it. I need to move forward with that work as well. I am reminded that I am a very good public speaker, as I was rewatching some of my work.

But this weekend, I honestly need to catch up on sleep. My favorite kdrama is dropping a new episode! I have to help my daughter finish a really big application she is working on. And we want to have some fun and go out to Balboa Park. I also need to do my taxes. I have the money ready to pay my quarterly, but I need to get all my paperwork together. My father was an accountant, so I actually like getting together our tax paperwork.

That’s it! I just wanted to let my blog readership know that I have to really concentrate on my taxes this weekend!
