Wake up, sleepyheads! June 8th is National Upsy Daisy Day when we're encouraged to kick-start our day with a positive attitude. A day to tackle each moment, each obstacle, with enthusiasm and hopefulness. Why is this important? Because our mindset has serious power —superhero power— to shape our lives and experiences.
Author Stephanie Allen West created this holiday to help us realize that our outlook on life can make or break our happiness and success. She encourages us to bounce back from challenges, embrace our achievements, and choose to radiate positivity to those around us. And how can we celebrate Upsy Daisy Day? It starts with waking up each morning and consciously choosing to be cheerful and grateful for the day's opportunities. Take a moment to appreciate the small joys in life, such as a warm cup of coffee or the beauty of nature outside your window. Embrace the day as a precious gift rather than a burden to bear. Throughout the day, remind yourself to stay positive and resilient, especially in the face of challenges. By cultivating a cheerful and optimistic attitude, we can make even the toughest tasks feel more manageable and bring joy to our own lives and those around us. Let's pop up like daisies, raise our eyes to the skies, and greet each day with an Upsy Daisy spirit! So, get on up and shine today! Upsy Daisy, everyone!

We are disheartened, shocked and disappointed at the Supreme Court’s recent ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade. This decision strips autonomy from millions of women across the country, with the most significant impact affecting marginalized groups - particularly those in lower-income communities, racial and ethnic minorities and individuals who are physically and neurologically diverse. While it is impossible to know the full effect this ruling will have on our country and the world, we will not back down until we live in a society where human beings have body autonomy. In the coming weeks and months, we will work with and lend support to organizations who are at the forefront of human rights initiatives. Our hope is to disseminate information, education and resources to those who are interested in joining the rise.
