LoftSanté, the clinic where I work, has just updated their mission statement. It's lovely :)

Les thérapeutes chez Loft Santé visent à offrir un espace chaleureux et accueillant pour tous. Nous reconnaissons notre responsabilité à incarner et promouvoir la diversité et continuons à nous éduquer afin d'offrir le meilleur soutien possible à nos clients.

At Loft Santé, we seek to provide a safe and welcoming space for all peoples and recognize our responsibility in continuing to educate ourselves so that we can better support those who entrust us with their care.

Link in the bio, the latest: “Rest in What You’ve Created.” In honour of all we contribute to the things we feel we can’t control.

It feels like good instincts.

Like yesterday. Someone actually spat at me, at a far enough distance that it hit neither me nor my poussette.

My body was on fire, I could have attacked this person, instead, I witnessed myself flip him the bird and call him "fu**ed up and rude" as I walked myself to the other side of the street to speak to a lady who commiserated and posited calmly that "he probably wasn't all there." Rest in what you've created - the ability to walk away when you'd go mama bear on someone's butt. Mainly because you remember that you really don't know how to fight.

Rest in what you've created - the instinct to walk away, but the wisdom to create brief community of "being seen" when things out of your control come and mess with your juju.
