There’s a lot going on, and we have to figure out how to navigate it, personally and professionally.

Yes, we have to take care of ourselves. But not everything is about us. So we have to balance our own needs with our responsibilities to those around us. We have to decide where to cut ties, and where to give more physical and emotional space. Because most of us are doing the best we can. Some are energy vampires, trying to make it all about them, trying to suck everyone else’s life force. But most of us are trying to survive, thrive, and help those around us however we can.

So this week, with all that’s happening on large and small stages, is about navigating the rapids. Deciding when to speak up. Deciding when to STFU.

Do the best you can. Be as kind as possible. Because, in spite of the meme that it’s “always” possible to be kind, sometimes it’s not, not if you want to survive.
