What a week this has been. We have been reminded, yet again, of the inequities in our world. It is heavy, it is sad, it is overwhelming. It would be easy to turn our heads and think that it's too hard. But it's a privilege to look away.
Our neighbors, friends and loved ones deserve more than that. So, this week, we're learning to sit with the hurt and do the small actions that we can to use our privilege for good. By not looking away, by donating to justice organizations, by having brave conversations.
I'm adding a restorative class this week and am sending you love.

How to breathe when you want to give up
by Cleo Wade
Today I am breathing through fatigue, fear and feeling overwhelmed.
I breathe because when I breathe, I am reminded that I am alive.
I am reminded that to be able to fill my body with air means that I have the ability to keep going.
I am reminded that my time on earth may be short, but it can be powerful if I dedicate it to love and fairness.
When I breathe, I am reminded of Mary Oliver when she wrote: “tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
So I breathe. And I let my breath turn into a smile that says back to her: “as much as I can.”
