Summer Speech Review
Friday, April 19, 2024
Time to Embrace the Spring Light and Your light
I work at three schools as a speech therapist. Each school has their Spirit Week or Hope Week.
Today one of my secondary schools had Bling Day. I got to wear my fancy jacket.
The whole week was about "Hope" letting in the light during dark moments or letting others bring their light to you during your dark moments. What a great message for Hope Week.
Here is my bling outfit. Thanks to a friend (Annette) who likes to shop and find great deals. She is also a very generous person who lets her light shine to so many people. I hope you have a friend who brings you light or you can be a friend to others that need light. I hope I can be more like her.
Speaking of Hope, if your child or you need help with speech, check into my intensive summer speech program. See the previous blog for details.

HOME OFFICE REMODEL COMPLETED
Welcome to my new home office
I switched from paying for an office in Orem to my home office after covid. I am now located in P.G. (635 Dalton Drive, P.G, Ut, 84062)
My situation has changed where I downsized my private practice and I am now working full time for Alpine School District as a speech therapist and I am taking just a few part-time clients in the afternoons. The home office finally got remodeled. It took way way longer than expected due to lumber shortage, etc.
Here are a few pictures of the completed remodel.
BEFORE REMODEL OLD OFFICE PICTURES
It's not bad but I didn't like the way the desk furniture cut into the room. And I didn't like the high walls were wasted space.
AFTER REMODEL OFFICE PICS; We replaced the old carpet with new hard wood floors.
We added a vaulted bookshelf with a ladder and replaced the old light with a new light not seen in these two photos yet. I had the desk go across the bookshelf verses cutting into the room. Now we can still have a desk, a sitting area and a table area for card games or for eating, etc.
