• I've been thinking heavily about #Blackhistorymonth + the suffering of my Asian-American brothers + sisters.

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.

  • 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.
