Hope we don’t have another Turtle Visitor, stay safe today with the weather. ❤️

Short Term Severe Weather Update - Thru Late Morning

Round one of today’s severe weather threat, in the form of a large MCS, is ongoing across portions of Iowa, Southern Wisconsin and far Northwestern Illinois as of this 7AM hour. This complex is expected to track east/southeast across a large chunk of Northern and Central Illinois over the next several hours, through late morning (and into the afternoon). A severe weather threat will accompany activity on the southern flank of this complex, especially near and south of I-80.

You do not have to fix everything, figure everything out, or take every step at once.

Sometimes the most important progress starts with one small, steady step.

Whether that step is reaching out, starting the conversation, asking for support, or simply giving yourself permission to pause, it matters.

One small step today can change so much over time.

Well… this wasn’t on our schedule for today.

After last night’s storms, this big snapping turtle showed up at the front door of Pica & Associates and seemed determined to check in for an appointment. We aren’t sure what brought him our way, but he certainly made himself at home!

The storms left quite an impact across the area, and seeing wildlife displaced like this is a reminder of just how powerful Mother Nature can be.

Most importantly, we hope all of our neighbors, clients, friends, and local businesses are safe and doing well after the severe weather. If your family experienced storm damage, power outages, or fallen trees, please know we’re thinking of you.

As for our unexpected visitor, we’ll leave the therapy to the professionals… and let him get back to wherever snapping turtles go after a long night of adventure. 💙

Did anyone else have an unusual visitor show up after the storm?

Sometimes, naming what we’re feeling is the first step toward understanding what we need.

“How am I really feeling today?”

Your feelings matter, and you don’t have to sort through them alone.

PICA & Associates is here to support individuals, children, and families with thoughtful, personalized care.
