It is in times like this that the world most needs you awake. Please, if you can, resist the urge to check out and shut down. You are more powerful when fueled by emotion than when you are numb. We need you at full capacity; that is where your power lies. If you feel you must numb, I understand and would never shame you for that choice. Yet I encourage you to consider other options, if you can. I honor you and any emotions that you are feeling right now. I honor your bravery to feel and be with them; I know it is not easy. Keep going.
