I’ve spent my life speaking positivity into the world just so when it is actually Bad, I know and feel the difference. Today is the day when Terrible is appropriate. . There is so much. It is so much. We are managing so much. And the keep going is still a good idea, but keep your list short and expectations should lean towards humanity and not productivity. . I understand the whole keep calm thing was introduced to mentally manage through world war. I believe 100 years has ...taught us, you can’t keep calm and ignore war, or injustice or climate change. . Collectively taking care of each other and the planet is self care transcended. So please keep going, go in a direction of forgiveness, healing and reparations, and we will get there. . . #love #reparations #cleanair #itsterrible #truth #climatereality #justice #fire #californiawildfires #oregonwildfires #humanrights #organic #sustainableliving #forgiveness #mukurma #heal #build #takecare #selfcare #savetheplanet #motherearth #loraxwasright #waterislife #indigenousrights See more

So then one day you wake up and the sky is orange, whilst in the middle of a global pandemic and you begin to wonder where to look for something that makes sense. . This beautiful Hoya is the only thing that makes sense to me right now. I hope it brings you some peace. We could all use a little reminder of beauty today. #californiaisonfire #oregonisonfire #icantbreathe #climaterefugees #takecare #climatereality #wtf #hoya #whatisnormalanyway #oakland #hug #hold #mukurma #justice #blm #beautiful #cleanair

My usps carrier is the best! One of the things I love is how thoughtful she places my magazines as to not crush them into mail slot. This year has been especially tough and she still delivers consistently. We will be adding extra town mama goodies to her holiday gift bag. . . .... . . #blackgirlsrun #run #hero #blm #breonnataylor #ahmaudarbery #runnersworld #vanityfair #signofthetimes #alysiamontano #outdoorafro #be #live #love #one #justice #truth #sayhername #wordsmatter #editors #producers #publicspaces #freedom #takeupspace #usps #postalworker #mailcarrier #grateful See more
