I know it was a matter of chance that it landed in my inbox and I got to read it, take it in and then cry my eyes and heart out, but it’s a chance I love and appreciate. Maybe there’s a chance that some sense and empathy is knocked into people with social and political power or maybe not. But to stand in the face of it, with courage and hope shouldn’t be just a chance, it should be more than that… :’)
Thank you for this, best one yet.

love that first image!
The only thing anyone has control of is self. Here's what I try to do:
1) be my best self....kindness, compassion, etc. to self and others
2) turn off tv news
3) when speaking to others, use "I statements", don't criticize or give unwanted advice
4) listen, laugh, love in each moment
5) enjoy nature and write haiku
6) think of a gratitude list every night before sleeping
