Today I am pausing, in the midst of a rewarding and busy week, to share a few reminders and resources with you. I’ll keep things short and sweet today, as that’s what I’ve got the spoons for. I hope you’re well and navigating the challenges of life okay today. You’re here, and you’re trying. Well done!

Reminders: 

• You matter, you deserve to exist, and you deserve love and compassion and opportunities
• The color of your skin, your gender identity, your sexuality, where you were born, your IQ, your strengths and weaknesses – none of these change the fact that you have inherent worth 
• Patriarchy is harmful
• Cultivating media literacy and practicing it may be getting harder and harder, but it IS possible
• The small choices you make add up – a phone call to a representative, a smile to someone who is struggling, a donation or a food delivery to someone who needs it, teaching someone a skill

Resources from my more recent writing that you may find helpful: 

• Finding Magic in the Minutiae
• Discovering Who We Really Are (In Community?)
• Pausing for Rest and Renewal (includes meditation)
• A Moving Meditation (includes meditation of course)
• Breaking the Cycle and Taking One Step (includes meditation)

Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to comment and let me know what you’d like to hear or see more of here. Wishing you health and renewal for the fight – and an eye for the joy too. 

P.S. I have a few more spots  for people interested in learning about themselves through the Enneagram in our next cohort. And if you’d like to join me for an opportunity to learn some mental fitness skills and see how saboteurs are keeping you from being happy and living a life you love, head here.
