I would like to add - we are all in this together. If you have a friend or loved one who YOU notice being affected by all of this chaos and stress, please do your best to engage with them and see if they want to vent, etc.

Sometimes, the best medicine is a good friend just saying, "Hey!! You okay?"

The best revenge through all of this Trump shit is going to be for all of us to come out on the other side!!! As Desiderata reads:

You are a child of the universe;
No less than the trees and the stars;
You have a RIGHT to be here...

Beyond a wholesome discipline
Be gentle with yourself.

Hugs to all.
