Fingers crossed it holds, it is Maine and it’s still a week out lol

This incoming administration has a strategy to shock and distract so that we’re too busy spinning in circles to take care of ourselves and become very strategic about organizing and acting. Remember when our base needs are met, we can tolerate stress, we think strategically and we can move together✊🏽

In my mind this is small, intentional, hyper local moves to create healthier humans. Check on your friends and family. Like really check in. Have nourishing food. Unplug from the 24/7 news cycle and reduce your stress to get restful sleep. Move your body. And then repeat again and again.

In this moment it can feel like we have to have all the answers and have to take action. And we do, of course we do. But to think strategically, to be able to respond to the needs of others, to move into our higher brain we have to not only meet the base need for ourselves but for others too.

When we keep asking, how can others not care about my human rights, other’s human rights, the climate crisis…I think we forget that our brains struggle to connect to those things when we’re struggling to nourish ourselves and move out of crisis brain thinking.

Our Native American communities understand that elections don’t solve problems, they create new conditions in which we organize. And so now we know what the board looks like. Let organizing and acting commence. 🔥✊🏽❤️

Fabulous! Sending all the good energy for swift and safe arrival for the little.
Have you already picked the moniker? Papa? Grandpa? DooDah?

I am so grateful to have an incredible elder who is my ED at work who tempers my burn it all down fury with years of wisdom and patience. She reminds me about balance, all things in relation and thinking generationally and with centering relationships as the way we do movement work.

Important to note here in Maine the bills that will be worked on this session will be due by our legislators around the third week in December. So get on the phone with your reps to make your collective voices heard on what the priorities are this session. ❤️🔥✊🏽

Oh I’m watching and I hope it’s a short 2-hit affair, Tyson hitting Paul’s face and Paul hitting the floor 😘
