A woman sent me a message today about a conversation she overheard at church—a group of teens & adults ranting angrily about LGBTQ ppl, how they pose a threat to the nation, etc etc.
So do you know what she did?
SHE SPOKE UP.
We need more social consensus around best practices like this for anyone who wants to continue to avoid covid:
Really good point. We learn about how to cope with emotions from our parents. It's not a built-in skill like how to walk

My friend who is a Chief Diversity officer shared that there have been a growing number of complaints by white faculty and staff that the jobs were being reserved for people of color and that their voices were being silenced.

Grateful I took a few minutes to dance and stretch at work today, so easy to forget myself & stay glued to my laptop #pleasure

So real! 2020 left us in survival mode. That means emo processing didn't really start until vaccines rolled out...

I assure you, trauma’s not “all in your head.” It’s also in your heart, your nerves, & your stomach. It’s in your trembling hands, your uneven breathing, your vision that suddenly gets blurry.
It’s not just our head that went through the thing. Every cell in our body was there.
Deeply respect the perspective here, and yes, the opioid crisis was nurtured by corporations. I've watched too many clients start with a prescription for pain & end with an addiction
Two quotes to ponder as you read "Purdue's Poison Pill," Adam Levitin's forthcoming @TexasLRev paper:
"Some will rob you with a six-gun, And some with a fountain pen." (W. Guthrie)
"Behind every great fortune there is a great crime." (H. Balzac) (paraphrase)
