I've been thinking heavily about #Blackhistorymonth + the suffering of my Asian-American brothers + sisters. MLK said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly." {Letter from Birmingham, Alabama jail, April 16, 1963.} _________________ I've been pretty strategic this #blackhistorymonth to take care of myself by being off social + by being present with myself + my family. _________________ I've also been grieving for members of the BIPOC community. We must be allies for our Asian-American brothers + sisters. _________________ As a BIPOC woman, I must do the work to understand the Asian experience, + I am committed to it. I am listening. I am learning. {Eli Wiesel, Romanian-born American writer, professor, political activist, Nobel laureate, + Holocaust survivor has said many things that have deeply impacted me. He is a pillar of allyship and activism.}

We are religious about #selfcaresunday these days. I was working 24/7 to deal with my Rona/State of the world depression. Then, I realized something... I do not have to earn rest. I just started taking it. We are a military family so we become “in to” whatever our current location has to offer. 🏛In DC, we attended political lectures + toured museums e-v-e-r-y week {+ I loved it}. #citygirl 🔰In Japan, we hiked, we visited temples, shrines, + spent all of our time outdoors. 🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽♂️In Monterey, we lived + ran by the beach. 🥾In SoCal we hike. How are you making the best of your current situation? P.S. This empath is a bit overwhelmed by what’s going on in Texas {stationed there twice for a total of five years}. I’m praying for you, friends + vetting the best options for sending resources.
