Rooted Soles

I’ve realized over the last six months that I really struggle in the unknown. I like to have to plan. I like to have a goal, create the path to get there and put my head down and do the work.

That feels pretty much impossible since COVID has struck. We are all basically doing whatever we can to stay afloat but are also in the holding pattern. So many unknowns. So much unrest. Of course this is only exacerbated by the s**t show that is “governing” this country and the impending election.

In addition to this kids are at home, parents are either putting their careers on hold or trying to power through both schooling and working without totally losing their will to live. It’s a mess.

I get through by knowing that one day COVID will be over and the hope that our country will do better. That my fellow citizens can see the power of leading lives of compassion and empathy. That by supporting our most vulnerable, we are stronger.

Each and every person deserves the same rights, protections and opportunities. Your neighbors “having” does not take away from what you have. There is plenty to go around. We can’t be daunted by the great challenge of shifting to this way of thinking, this way of governing, this way of LIVING.

Your vote does actually matter. Vote Biden/Harris and get us out of this mess!
