My mantra has been "Response over Reaction", but this works, too

Cory Booker, winding down: "We need a greater love in this country a greater fight in this country a greater determination." And re: Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. The people are more powerful."

Presence matters.

So, a word of advice to a friend: Keep your Jedi heart open. Hate the racists right back. But try to see the scared and heart-broken for what they are, scared and heartbroken.
Build bridges on any commonground you can find. This is the only antidote to this poison.

"It is the light in the lantern which shows you the path, not the lantern."
Or,
Allow your values and a sense of purpose to guide your actions.

No matter how it feels in any given moment, isolation is an illusion. And a lie.

Integrity is a human need. It is always the right time to stand up for your values. There is no one right way to do that. Just be sure to do it, for your own best health.

Today I wrote to my senators and asked them to back Senator Warrens' budget proposal to change the DOD funding structure and to allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug costs as means to cut the federal budget.
And I wrote some "I Love You" cards to people I am grateful to be connected to 💖

Now more than ever, love your neighbkr.
Now more than ever, pull FOR what you want to see persist.

Spent time volunteering and working in nature today. There is so much to process. Good moments and hard moments. But I am mostly focused on: "Be What You Would Rather See".
Little steps.
Keep breathing and keep focused.
Be What You Would Rather See.💖

See what a random act of kindness does for your outlook 🤘😎

Use this season of grief to turn inwards and identify your values.
Respect. Honor. Integrity. Kindness.
What qualities inform the actions you are most proud of? How can these qualities inform your next steps? No need to act until they are clear in your heart. 🤍

Be true to yourself.
Be true to yourself.
Be true to yourself.
Show up as authentically YOU as you can, not how anyone else asks you to show up.
Be true to your highest self and your values.
