I am so grateful that I live in a landscape that is undercover gorgeous. The blue sky and gradual change of color into fall is happening all around me... and although I am more busy that usual, I am also intentionally taking time to breathe in the beauty of the world and let it soak into my being.... as a coping skill.
Like most folks, I am very aware that millions of people right at this moment are living displaced lives due to war and climate catastrophes. This acknowledgement is when it is most important for me to bathe in gratitude for all the love and magic that is also present in the world, filling me up with good vibes so that I am not paralyzed by overwhelm. This simple act of self-care makes positive action possible.
...speaking of which... I'm off to go enjoy the sunset and self-regulate!
