    EP 159: INNER PEACE IN TIMES OF CHAOS

    Let us be mindful of our… ** News sources, and how much we consume… refocus now and then on what matters most ** At any given time there’s chaos in the world, executive orders can/are being sign into being ** What’s for SHOW/INTIMIDATION (deportations in Military planes), and what is actually taking effect? ** Let not our peace be stolen… while STLL letting our voices be heard… because silence is acceptance ** Budgets being cut, FDIC being done away with, DEI being cancelled… most, if not all of these, are being challenged by lawsuits having been filed. ** Read/Share information on anything that matters to you, your loved ones, and your community. ** Stay loud, make as much noise as possible!!

    EP 158: RESIST, PROTECT, DEFEND

    These are not so much “show notes” per se, but just MY bullet points, which I use to try and stay on track as I speak. ** Take it one day at time… are you ok RIGHT NOW? ** Do NOT obey/submit in advance. ** Stand up for those who cannot… if we (those who can withstand the winds) do not stand up, what does that make us?? ** Support/back those (back the blue) who risk everything to protect us… ** Silence is ACCEPTANCE ** Why risk it all… we’re going to die eventually, I would rather die for a good cause than just die. ** Even if it’s “not you” right now… one day it will be you/us ** Know your rights, make it HARD to be harassed… arrest me, jail me, for doing nothing… SUE THEM!! ** If we give in, we empower them over us… IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

    EP 155: NEUTRALITY

    Recent events have gotten me thinking more about the meaning of neutrality than I normally would.   It’s so easy for our brain to spiral into darkness, fear, sadness or other unpleasant emotions.   So, how do we bring it back to a neutral zone as soon as possible (if we’re ready) so we can do life?   One thing I know for sure is… life will always throw us curveballs from time to time… be it sickness or troubles of all sorts.   Here are some things I find helpful: * It’s ok to be/feel negative emotions… fighting them too much may be the worse things we can do. * It’s always been this way * It’ll always be this way… more or less * Refocus on all the beauty and good in your life * Sometimes we have it wrong… our imagination at its best (like maybe the next four years won’t be as bad as many of us think)       IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!

    EP 154: RAGE IGNITED

    I’m seeing, and feeling, more fragility in the last couple of weeks than I have in quite a while… due to the election results… but it’s mostly due to where our focus is.   Is ignorance bliss?   If ignorance is bliss, do you remember a time in your life when you suffered greatly, only to look back now and ask yourself… “what the heck was I thinking?”.   During the depression not everyone was poor… who prospered? During the pandemic not everyone was lonely… why were some people not lonely?   Who is sad/mad/afraid/ now? … Who is happy/joyful/excited with the election results?   What to do in the next 4 years (or in any difficult time really that’s outside of our control) ** Are we ok right now? Can we breathe, eat, see, hear, have a roof over our head, are we safe? ** Are our loved ones safe, healthy, fed?   ** Are others in our same situation experiencing a different result?  If so, why?   What can we do to remain safe, and to not let our situation make things worse?   How can we get to the other side having used this hardship to improve ourselves?   Let’s make hard times count for some good!   IMPORTANT: If you are in an abusive relationship and you don’t feel safe, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline!
