Shit is wild and crazy in ways unlike any time we've lived through. Though I imagine this fascist, genocidal, American-driven global situation feels eerily similar to those of the early and mid 20th century.
Our access to what's happening literally everywhere all the time paired with astounding amounts of money being moved and terrible decisions being made at everyone's expense but those with the most money is overwhelming.
I saw a social media post a few weeks ago referring to our current horrors as The Situation. It's a perfectly ridiculous name for it.
The relentless speed at which we're seeing The Situation unfold is fucking exhausting.
This note is a drop of medicine. Won't heal everything, but it's an offering from my heart and real life.
An invitation to us on this Saturday:
Pause what you're doing and close your eyes. Or, stare out a window or across the room to a soft landing like a plant, a pet or something pretty.
Think about something good that's happened in your life or to someone you know in the past few days.
For 5 breaths or so, hold the good news in your mind with eyes closed or while looking at the soft, pretty thing.
Now, close your eyes (if they're open), put a gentle grin or smile on your face and take a 5 more breaths.
Now, email me your good news. I really really want to know what's good in your corner.
Here's my good news from yesterday:
I cut another 5 inches off my hair and feel fucking amazing for more reasons than the super cute haircut! I've been going to my hairdresser for one year and feel so seen and understood by her after struggling for a decade to find someone after my mom died in 2014 and had been the only person to ever cut my hair.
My neighbor's very cute cat was found after 18 agonizing days! 🥹 Matt and I know the kitty very well and have been grieving while holding hope alongside our neighbors for weeks. I've gone looking for the kitty alone and with my neighbor, and been getting regular updates from her. I was fucking DELIGHTED to get a text from Matt while getting my haircut that Camille has been found!
For about 8 hours yesterday I had the feeling in my chest of ease and peace — like "all was right in my world."
Please tell me your good news.
Lots of love, Annie
