This is the survival guide for me. I need to be constantly reminded of what to do to stay focused and sane in these trying times. I’ve been working through some things and it gets better each day. I need to breath and remember we can collectively get through what’s about to happen. Thank you for your hard work and insight.

I for one will not be watching the news today.

Its a self preservation thing.

Listening to calm music as I work.

I've given up on the MSM, and subscribe to many newsletters like this, savoring writers like OS and SS who lift my spirits and help guide me to a path where I can resist and yet refresh my soul from the darkness and chaos. Let's all remember through these trying days that there is great strength in numbers, and as stated by Toya Mileno, "No one let go of anyone's hand." Let's hold hands and lift one another up.

I gave up on them long ago and then watching the spectacle they made of Biden was when most others began to move away from MSM. Happy to hold your hand, to lift you, and to be lifted up by you! I am going to need as much support as anyone.

DEI is not affirmative action. It doesn't say that favor will be granted to anyone due to their age, gender, disability, etc. Its aim to to make every organization value every person equally.
