It’s a version of a triple spiral labyrinth.
Does your work conference set aside space for a labyrinth?
(Also can you spell labyrinth without looking at the word...lol)

Statement from the American Nurses Association regarding the death of registered nurse Alex Pretti SILVER SPRING, MD - January 24, 2026 - The American Nurses Association (ANA) is deeply disturbed and saddened to learn of the death of Alex Pretti, a registered nurse, in Minneapolis earlier today. We extend our condolences to Alex's loved ones, colleagues, and the community at large. ANA condemns violence in our communities. The seriousness of this incident and others demand transparency and accountability. ANA calls for a full, unencumbered investigation, and urges that findings be shared promptly and clearly so Alex's loved ones and the public have answers. One in four nurses already experience workplace violence. As incidents with federal law enforcement continue to rise across the country, we are deeply concerned for the safety of nurses, both on the job and in the communities they serve. Nurses are advocates for the safety and well-being of their communities. They enter this profession to heal, to protect human life, and to show up for people in their most vulnerable moments. ANA remains committed to preventing violence in the workplace and in our communities, and to advancing meaningful protections that safeguard healthcare workers and the public.

I’m listening to a talk by Dr. Molly Hayes @BIDMC and this quote that she shows from a real family member always gets me….

Grateful for all the incredible caring brilliant folks teaching, advocating, and providing healthcare out there in 2025. Especially thankful for my #HaPC and #meded communities! Happy 2026!
Reflecting on my stint on the inpatient #palliative service this week. Crazy busy. Thankful for my colleague for helping out so we could give patients/families the time and provide high quality care.
This and every winter solstice I remember a certain special clinic patient long gone.

Lawmakers are leaving for the holidays without a health care deal, guaranteeing higher insurance rates for millions come January.
“We’ll deal with it in January,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told reporters.
AAP learned this week that seven grants to AAP under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are being terminated. The sudden withdrawal of these funds will directly impact and potentially harm infants, children, youth, and their families.
