Happy Thursday!

3 days left for wet clay, or so they say. That’s a timeframe that makes sense but what potter makes pots like that. I more than likely will push that number by at least 4 days. Into next week. We start loading Big Magic one week from Saturday so at some point I will have to stop. Thank goodness for the @mudtools red rib. 🤪✌🏽 . . . . . #ceramics #poterie #poteries #vase

WHy is it important for us to do our part in our communities, to help support those facing food insecurity? Hunger can profoundly impact family dynamics by increasing stress and tension within the household, as the constant worry about obtaining enough food creates emotional strain for all members. This stress often leads to irritability and conflict, disrupting, harmony, and communication. Additionally, hunger may force, family members, especially children, to assume adult responsibilities or alter traditional roles, which can add to their burden and create imbalance within the family structure. For parents, hunger and related stress can impair patience and emotional availability, affecting their ability to nurture and support their children. On the other hand, children experiencing malnutrition, may face cognitive and emotional challenges that hinder their social interactions and development, further impacting family relationships. Limited access to food can also reduce opportunities for shared activities and bonding, fostering feelings of isolation. Moreover, the physical health problems caused by chronic hunger, place additional caregiving demands on family members, exacerbating existing tensions. Overall, hunger strains the emotional well-being of families, weakening their cohesion and stability, and highlighting the importance of addressing food and security to maintain healthy family dynamics.
