Connection. We connect with others everyday. At our jobs, our homes, and at school. Take a moment to connect with yourself. Hold yourself and love that you are here and now. Hold your own hand, give yourself a hug, or simply place your hands anywhere on your body and be grateful to be you.

As Massage Therapists, we choose to connect to others for a purpose. We do it because we love it. If that resonates with you - learn more at https://continue.austincc.edu/massage

Here’s your chance to learn Salesforce for real admin work, and prepare for the Platform Administrator certification exam! At Austin Community College's Continuing Ed program, we’re offering Salesforce Essentials for New Admins starting in October!

⚠️ The deadline to enroll is next Wednesday, Sept 30 ⚠️

This 7-week class dives into Salesforce admin work — using real business configuration scenarios to learn and practice, not just WHAT to do, but the how and why. It's a strong next step if you want to build on existing Salesforce experience and/or study for the Admin cert.

🚨 This course has prerequisites! Make sure you have completed at least ONE of these before enrolling (or DM me if you are unsure):
— Completion of the "Salesforce Fundamentals for Business Administration" course
— Six months of real-world Salesforce work experience
— A passing score on the Salesforce Platform Foundations exam
— Attainment of Mountaineer rank in Trailhead, plus completion of the "Protect Your Salesforce Data" trail

These are live, interactive sessions, taught by a working certified Salesforce professional — Stacy Irwin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacyirwin/) — not a self-paced slide deck or video playlist. Deetz:

✏️ ✏️ ✏️
Course: Salesforce Essentials for New Admins (7 weeks)

🌿 Self-Care Friday: Give Your Body a 60-Second Reset

Feeling the workweek in your shoulders, neck, or lower back? Take a minute to check in with your body.

✨ Try this simple Somatic Mindful Scan:

🧘‍♀️ Pause & Soften
Let your posture relax—no need to sit or stand perfectly.

👀 Notice
Take a breath. Where are you holding tension? Your jaw? Neck? Shoulders? Lower back?

🌬️ Move & Release
Slowly roll your shoulders in gentle circles. Take a deep breath and exhale, allowing your body to soften.

Somatic movement is about awareness, gentle movement, and reconnecting with your body—not pushing yourself harder.

Ready to explore the mind-body connection?
