Liz Gilbert warns against the perils of horizontal thinking. This week's post is about what happens when we think ourselves into a hellish hole and what to do to get (or better, stay) out of it.

What is a book that opened you? Who would you be without that book? This week's essay is about those books and how many of them are disappearing from libraries.

Sometimes I learn from Nature what I *want* to do in the world and sometimes what I don't. This week's essay is about hummingbirds and humans.

My human brain would love it to be different, but the truth is that uncertainty is the way things are and always are. How do you navigate the fact that we are all one phone call away from our lives changing completely?

Laughter, these days, often sneaks up on me, comes out of nowhere. And I'm always amazed at both how much I needed it and how good it feels.

Consistency is more powerful than intensity. It ay seem counter-intuitive, but it's true in everything from fitness to activism. So do what you can do consistently or as my Yoda Husband says, be an ant. Check out this week's essay (and an essay from years ago that is even more applicable now). 💙

Want change in the world? Start locally.
I've spent most of my life thinking problems will be solved and the culture will shift toward the wellbeing of people if the right people are elected. I've had it backwards. They don't lead us (obvio), we lead them. READ this week's essay for more. 💙

These days, people. Honestly, if you haven't felt overwhelmed by something in the past couple of months, well more power to you. But if you have or if you're feeling overwhelmed now (here are some things to notice if you are), here are some things to do to bail your swamped little boat. 💙

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Funny what I learn from slowing down and looking around. This week's essay is about the wisdom in a huge tree full of hundreds of chattering birds building nests and community.

Feeling wobbly? Knocked off your feet? Me, too.
Even though I know what helps me stay centered.
My essay today is for you if you're feeling unstable. And if you're feeling grounded, please share with a friend. We can do this, y'all, if we do it together. 💙

I just contacted my senators and urged them to oppose Pete Hegseth's nomination to lead the Defense Department. Trump's pick would undermine our national security. app.sosha.ai/s/J5SbJ7Bf
