Have patience with every one, but especially with yourself.

For Wellness Wednesday, JAM (Just a Minute) card:

What makes JAM Card so special?

​ Available for free in card or app form, JAM Card is a discreet, silent and easy device for telling others that you need ‘Just A Minute’ in any scenario.

​ It was originally developed by and for those with learning difficulties and disabilities, but has now expanded to include anyone with a hidden disability or communication barrier when they need more patience and space in a given situation.

​ Despite its simplicity, JAM Card has grown into one of the leading accessibility and inclusion tools for its service users. There are now over 1,800 JAM Card businesses and 168,000 service users across the world.

I love things that make our world more livable, kinder, so I am thrilled that this exists. Making space for someone needing more time should be an ordinary occurrence.
