A big ol' hug to everyone who's going to be holding their breath a lot in the next few days.
I mean, more than usual, for this last nightmare of a few weeks.
We're going to be caught fast for the next few days in a news cycle of events we cannot control - but our bodies aren't going to know that. It's not going to be easy to manage the stress on 24/7 media-driven tenterhooks.
Take breaks.
Be with people.
Have grace with others, & forgive what they say while coping.
Be kind to yourselves, too.
@MLClark A friend messaged me to today, and they said, “ Can I be mad? Because I know it’s wrong to be angry.”
I replied to her that anger wasn’t a bad thing, it was just a thing, but her choices would define it, not the thing itself.
It’s ok to take breaks, it’s ok to guard your own heart, it’s ok to say, this is hurting me, I need to stop.
That’s showing love not just to yourself, but others too.
💛 Thank you for being present for your friend in need. Sometimes folks need permission to step back, and to acknowledge their feelings while separating the act of feeling from any further actions that might stem from it.
May you always feel as supported in turn, you lovely critter you. 🤗
@MLClark I am very lucky to have bright lights like you in my life that are always there with love and support.
Thank you groovy soul!
