A thread on belonging and hope in a time of uncertainty. – at Omaha, NE
A COVID-19 thread of solitary for those struggling and suffering. I’ve been pretty sad for a couple weeks given the assault on our collective consciousness’s peace of heart & mind. #coronavirus #COVID19 1/21

At a time when we most need our support structures intact, the spots we go to nurture our wellbeing (therapists offices, fitness centers, yoga studios, places of worship) are all closed. Find creative ways to support what YOU need today. Self-care is our shared urgent work. 🙏🏼

Social media is our public square now. No more distinction b/w IRL & our digital presence. Our private lives are quarantined. This is the only public that's accessible to all.

If you know me, then you know how much I love the folks at @gravitycenter. So much of my personal growth is credited to their instruction and grace. Please consider helping them out as they face immediate financial fallout from COVID gravitycenter.com/donations/

Sooooo, this isn't how we had planned my new #Enneagram Mapmakers podcast launch, but we wanted to slip an early episode in there to offer some peace during these difficult days. "#COVID-19: Thoughts on Solidarity & Self-Care in Uncertain Times" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

When fear is all around... When the schools close down... When the store shelves are empty... When your freedom of movement is restricted... Remember the refugees, who have lived with fear, fled for their very lives, and learnt to survive. They are our role models now.

Let's keep saying "yes" to finding ways to celebrate every beautiful thing in our lives,—especially the most mundane. Looking for tiny miracles in the everyday is going keep each of moving forward in these uncertain times.

On point 👉🏼 “You know how everyone rushed to the stores at the same time & bought everything at once instead of staggering their visits? Now imagine that same thing in the hospitals, but instead of TP it's ICU beds & ventilators that are out. This is why everything is cancelled."
If people in the past only fought for what they could get passed we wouldn’t have any of the rights we have. Arguing against revolution with the claim of getting results is a weak argument. Discuss the policies, not a false juxtaposition.

America... A place where we socialize debt and privatize profit... where we bankrupt individuals and bailout banks. Help us, Lord.

Many can't work from home. Many can't afford to stock up. Many can't pay for healthcare. Many can't care for kids off school. Don't shrug off the risk, just because it's not a risk for you.
