Beautiful. Powerful.

This feels wonderfully weightless 🫀

Thank you! thank you for knowing your job, your values, and the moment. Thank you for setting an example. May others follow suit.

This is such an important message. Thank you for sharing it. It is the fuel. Joy makes room for what is possible. And we need to make a whole lot of possible right now!

To be clear, I’m calling all of my state’s elected daily (including one outside my district because the ONLY democrat from Ohio)

Incredible!

Have missed you, moon pond.

I’m still quite unsure of how the 🦋 algorithm works with respect to hashtaging etc and WELCOME any explanations of this in comments. thank you so much!

Love the stories to be made of this. Onion and snake wall…brilliant pairings ! 🫀❤️

I would love it if you’d check and reshare my post made just be for this. I fudged where the hashtags fell, but it’s an important message I hope will not get lost. Thank you for your help. 🙏🙏

45/47 is creating REAL *RIGHT NOW* traumas and also preying on the fact that trauma pulls at trauma (ones that aren’t here now). We resist, by being aware of this so that our choices are clear, helpful, *our own* and they are of this time. Big love in all directions, Carmen 14/14

Minds and bodies are in. When our minds and bodies are present we can use them in THIS moment to respond clearly in ways that keep one another safe and moving forward in the direction we’d like to see. 13/14

If you have these tools, and you are safe to step out of a moment of historic trauma *feeling,* you get to choose what’s next. I say this only to recognize that this will be some long years of this and it will be important to notice which timeline our 12/14

And you are worth it.

Last, it’s also valid that trauma that reappears now has a sharp edge that needs your care. Take stock of your situation and, if you are safe, and need more tools to help your body meet you there…there are so many resources to help you. 11/14

to take a look and see, if a trauma response or memory is happening for you, what time is it located in?

Take care to recognize the healing you have done, and if there has never been a chance for that for you, and it’s here and safe now? Take it! Healing old wounds is an act of resistance. 10/14

I shared my story here to demonstrate how easy it is to for it to show up and perhaps surprise.

And, it is VALID and human that trauma pulls on trauma. This happens. In Acknowledging this here, I am just hoping to hold a moment open 9/14

Witnessing pain and experiencing trauma *pulls* on prior trauma. Make no mistake, MANY are directly experiencing the trauma of the immediate implementation of a hateful agenda right now. And many of us may find our past traumas percolating to the surface. 8/14

I want to write about this sometime as I have thought a good deal about it and written in the past (in psychologist hat) on trauma, desecration, and moral injury. But let’s put a pin in that for now and return to the things we feel inside ourselves when we witness the hurt of others. 7/14
