“In compassion lies the world's true strength.”

Today, I am grateful for the tools that help me approach myself and others with compassion. 

I am learning I am deeply activated by the presence of women that voted for a racist, misogynistic, convicted felon.

I accomplished pausing when my people pleaser part stepped in to protect a part of me that was triggered.

I delighted in connecting with a hawk on my walk, in a couple really good deep cries, in a yoga practice that helped me reconnect with my body, in treating myself to a slice of my favorite vegan cake, and in holding my tongue when I saw a woman proudly sporting a pro-Trump hat.
