The image is of a light brownish pink , almost vintage newspaper color background and words in an type writer - font are written “Sharing good news: Diversity, parenting, and my first keynote!” Under these words is the post author’s name, Dr. Abi Weissman, the website, www.wavespsych.com . To the left is the logo of Waves, A Psychological Corporation with its two waves in blue and its name written underneath. To the right of the author’s name is a picture of her smiling face wearing a brightly colored rainbow scarf against a flowered background.

I’ve been holding on to news of a good thing (actually, it’s more than a good thing; it’s a fantastically wonderful opportunity) for a couple of months now and it’s been so hard not to share! I finally can so I’m going to shout it over the rooftops!

Yay!!!
