Protecting your peace

staying informed does not mean staying immersed. you can know what’s happening without letting it consume your whole day and shift your entire mood.this isn’t about toxic positivity or ignoring real problems. it’s about creating intentional space between ourselves and constant exposure to things we can’t immediately change. joy isn’t a luxury we get to experience once everything in the world or our lives is fixed. it’s a daily survival strategy that keeps us resilient enough to keep showing up.

this week, i invite you to examine your own boundaries: 

where might you be overexposing yourself to information that depletes you? what would a healthier relationship with news and social media look like for you? what’s one boundary you can lovingly set this week to protect your joy? remember, creating boundaries isn’t selfish —it’s necessary. your joy is worth protecting, especially when the world feels heavy.

artful practices

This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully,  to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.”

resting is doing

If only we could see the power in rest.
If only we could attach to it, the worth it so deserves. If only we could open our minds to the idea, that everything
in nature has its time to rise and its time to descend.
That each of these acts is just a important as the other.
And that is exactly as it must be. If only we could see the courage it takes to lay aside the worries, the fears and the comparison, just for a few hours,
to let the mind, spirit and body come together again.
Doing the one thing they all require so much… nothing.
If only we could see the power in rest.
Because resting is very much doing.
-Donna Ashworth

Progress

Progress does not move on a predictable timeline, even when the work is strong.

calling hope

Hope allows for the unknown future to occur instead of the one I fear. Our enemies know of our power even if we don’t believe in it ourselves. That’s why they work so hard to suppress us. Oppression is profitable. Suppression is necessary to produce those profits.

I have a passion for doing the best I can do today. It starts with being honest as I can with myself and others. It continues with self-forgiveness to allow me to forgive others. It continues with infecting others with my sense of hope so that we struggle better together. Hope is not an option, but a necessity for the human rights movement.
