If you or someone close to you is going down a difficult path or struggling, you don’t need to save them—you need to support them. There’s a lesson in that journey that’s meant to strengthen them. If you try to rescue them or go through it for them, you might be taking away the very lesson they need for their next chapter. Support, don’t save.

No faith or flag can measure the depth of this grief.
But we are all bound by something older and wiser than politics:
our shared humanity, our sacred responsibility to care.

May those still trapped be found.
May those lost be honored.
May those surviving be met with aid, compassion, and peace.

FIND YOUR INNER COMPASS The blank page beckons, whispering promises of self-discovery, but sometimes the call of inertia is just too loud. We know journaling is good for us – mind, body, and soul –…

And to add to that... #holidays can be hard for many people. There is a large amount of trauma or loss that is remembered at this time as well. Be sure to #holdspace for all. Bad attitudes and withdrawing from social stuff is common. Simply saying hello, and acknowledging they are there and that you see them can be enough.

Family running a bit later than expected but since I cooked pot roast instead of turkey I got no worries.
Wanna share this #Nahko vid of a song where he shares his #RealFeels so if you get needing to feel heard, this is for you. If other people's feels might get you too down, save it for when you can #HoldSpace for Nahko and maybe end up singing along and dancing. #JusSayin
