Self hatred leads to self destruction. Embrace your own dignity. Be kind to yourself.

Sometimes things that helped us survive in the past prevent us from thriving now.  It’s ok to let go of things that no longer fit

Sometimes the pressure is too much.

Find peace where you can.

Life is hard but people love you. Don’t forget that.

Live life with intention. What do you have to lose?

When you can’t cope anymore what do you do? Where do you turn? 

When you need a break take it if you can. You can’t be fresh and ready for the challenges ahead without rest.

I started making peace signs to turn anger and apathy into compassion and action. But anger and compassion can coexist. Right now the US government is arguing that it doesn’t have to provide soap or beds to immigrant children detained at the border seeking asylum. It’s inhumane, it’s wrong and I am angry. And you should be too.

Law enforcement focuses too much on compliance and coercion. We need policies that focus on de escalation and containment.
