Together

The only way through this is together. And together we will take on the work in front of us.

Oh, friends. It is so hard to absorb the results of the election. It feels like we woke up in a world we do not recognize: surreal, destabilizing, disorienting.

We are processing a lot. Give yourself grace to do so. Focus as much as possible on your health. We will need all our strength as we take on the work in front of us. Protect the vulnerable. Offer kindness. Lift someone up.

The only way through this is together. Always has been, always will be. That, in spite of everything, has not changed.

Take good care. Know that we are together today, tomorrow, next week, and next year.
