Think a thought. Thought a think.

How do we do such a phenomenal thing as thinking during our work.?

"Yummy, yummy, yummy, I got love in my tummy."

Let's talk Self-Care for sign language interpreters. There is an easy quick way for us to feel comforted, that's comfort food. Here are some quick thoughts about how to quickly relax before, during, and, after a gig.

We all need to breath and relax at times in our work, let's bite into that topic now.

"Look at them yo-yos. That's the way you do it. Get your money for nothing and your 'terps for free."

Get ready for a great discussion by Anna Michaels and me about how it is to live outside the U.S. as an ASL/English interpreter. We talk about how the profession, and all stakeholders are impacted when interpreters from the U.S. travel to our regions.

We have an honest and straightforward discussion about this unique situation.

Take a deep breath and be ready to learn.
