I am so excited to share a brand-new original song I wrote to celebrate a massive milestone in our country's history—250 years of independence!

From the incredible sacrifices made for a new dawn of freedom to the careful debate that forged our Constitution and its three branches of government, this song reflects on where we started and our shared journey to keep moving forward together.

It’s perfect for classrooms, history lovers, or anyone looking to reflect on our nation's story.

🎶 Take a listen, let me know what you think in the comments, and feel free to share it with the educators and music lovers in your life!

📝 A little sneak peek at the lyrics:
"They forged a constitution
With great debate and care,
Three branches of the government
By the people for fore'er..."

From the The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Five tips on ways to enjoy summer events while still protecting hearing:

-Wear earplugs or noise-canceling headphones in loud environment
-Take listening breaks when possible.
-Move away from speakers or amplified sound.
-Lower volume on headphones and earbuds.
-Pay attention to ringing or muffled hearing after a loud event and visit an audiologist if issues continue the day after a loud event.

I hope to see as many people as possible protecting their hearing!

Here's a little original song to brighten your feed. 🎹✨

There is something so powerful about the promise to work to be what our country needs us to be. True liberty is a team effort, and it starts with each of us standing proud and tall right where we are.

📜 Lyrics:
My flag, my flag,
It waves for you and me,
The banner of the strong
and the brave and the free,
I’ll work to be
What my country needs me to be,
I’ll stand proud and tall,
For the land of liberty.

I urge adults over age 50 to attend a free symposium Thursday April 16 11 am in St. George regarding hearing loss. If you're not able to attend I urge you to become educated about hearing loss in adults. This information could significantly extend your lifespan and the lifespans of those you care about. More information at this link: https://www.cedarcityutah.com/news/is-hearing-loss-the-missing-link-to-protecting-your-brain-free-local-symposium-aims-to/article_188316a4-2822-5080-a54b-70b5e0b87d45.html

(Sponsored) Many people think of hearing loss as an inconvenience – something that simply makes conversations a little harder to follow or requires the television volume to be turned up.

Writing and reciting poetry is a great way to exercise your speech and language skills! Here's a little poem I wrote for spring this year:

The days are getting longer,
Though snowy days are here,
Soon the snow will melt
And the ice will disappear,

We’ve built our snowmen tall,
And we’ve sledded down the hills,
But soon the Earth will stir again
And warmth will give us thrills,

Green buds will all appear,
And the bulbs will reach up high,
The singing of the choir birds
Will ascend into the sky,

And spring will then be here,
Time for life to start anew,
In March the warmth begins again,
My heart feels warmer too!

What do you feel inspired to write a poem about today?

What are you hoping for from the Utah Speech-Language-Hearing Association this year? After presenting at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Convention again a few months ago I am being supported by the Iron County School District to represent them at the annual Utah Speech-Language-Hearing Association (USHA) Conference next week for the third year in a row! I plan to leave Cedar City next Thursday afternoon for Salt Lake County to go to the USHA conference Friday.

If any safe drivers want to caravan to Salt Lake with me from Southern Utah, or if anyone wants to connect with me at the conference or in Northern Utah this weekend please let me know! It looks to me like the conference line-up is great again this year.

I'm happy to share my notes from the conference with anyone interested in furthering the causes of speech, language, and hearing.
