I am creating a plan about when and where I will gather information, when I will take political action and when I will live the rest of my life, caring for my loved ones, my communities and for myself.

What will work for you? How will you offer resistance and also maintain beauty in your life?

I cannot consume news 24 hours a day. I cannot allow myself to get emotionally overwhelmed and crushed by the consistent onslaught of outrageous events or I will sink. If I sink, I can serve no one except the oppressor.

We need to keep our spirits and our bodies alive - connecting with the natural world and with each other. Singing, dancing, walking in the woods, loving each other. We will only be able to remain whole if we replenish ourselves, connect with what is sacred, and find joy in our days.
