What if a newsletter felt like a pause, not a ping?

I'm sending one message a month—just a minute of soul care: grief, love, breath, rest.

Here's my invitation. 💌

This is striking in its beauty and terror. Kind of feels like whats happening in our world. The terror is driving us into community, finding our voices, and knowing we must find the lightening within to conquer the bolt that wants to strike us down.

What is important to remember is when we meet peoples anger or cult membership we meet their fear. Fear is one of those emotions, like grief, that takes over our minds, and all we want to do is find a remedy. How about being curious about why they went along. Was it a hunger for something lost.

Too many folks are being ignored. 32 Million entrepreneurs can't afford these tariffs or canceled contracts. T guy playing us like puppets in his game of thrones. I am so sick inside of my soul for what we are losing. Freedom. Growth. Liberation. Truth.
There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Oh to stay curious. Its a mantra. Especially now. When we stay blind we are often surprised by what has happened while we disappeared. The flexible self, the ability to see choices and be spontaneous, is part of engaging with the soul of the self.

Sometimes a photo mirrors the emotions of the day. Though starkly beautiful, the play of black hovering, holding the rain and thunder, are like the nternal heartache for our political mess.

I'm a potter. As well as a therapist ans writer. But clay, is about life. How you take the blank slate of clay and in minutes it can be transformed. We can do that with our mindset.

Saturday. Immersed in calming my nervous system. Friends being fired or let go. Scared. Each day I try to find beauty.

Sometimes the sunset is so beautiful that it feels really. Finding beauty to conquer the dread of our political poverty.

They are right. We are living in this liminal time. Community voices stand strong. Keep talking. The traumatic imprint (Freud) is upon us.

There's a reality star in the WH. We must speak and find our voices and not go blind.

Liminal space and time. Its eerie to be in it. It doesn't seem like a choice. In waiting mode. Someones idea of a new world order. Waiting. Watching. Keep talking. Don't get gas lighted. Believe what you see. BIt by bit the mother ship is disintegrating. They want us to feel what they feel. Trauma.

Anxiety. Allow yourself to get angry. Feel the anger. Then watch what happens with the anxiety. It oftens quiets or totally disappears. Anger is not rage, It's not about yelling to get a release. It's a change in the cognition- I feel anxiety - to what am I angry about. Embodied curiosity.

Traumatic imprints are being felt by more and more folks. The effect they have continues to impact our psyches. I told a friend who was thinking to leave Florida because it no longer felt safe to live there that they needed to stay and not run. It's a harder choice. To stand up and have a voice.

Interesting. Yep, Married and kids. And you? They are all very patient with my schedule and travel. Its wonderful to have love and to know love.

Musk holding his son while at WH. Using his son for protection. Clever move. Keeps the reporters from going after him as he uses this young boy as body armor. Nothing more needs to be said. Hard to recover from having a narcissistically driven sociopathic father. Where's child protection?

Being new to a place is like going to school in September and not exactly knowing what to expect. Wondering who the allies will be be or how they'll present themselves, and who the adversaries will be, perhaps seeming like one kinda human but really a trickster. Keep the eyes open today.
