Some days you feel isolated.

Some days you feel lonely.

Some days you feel like you have nothing more to give.

Some days you feel overwhelmed,

Burnt out,

Stressed,

And depressed.

Some days you're tired of advocating.

Some days things feel never-ending and like a change will never come.

Let's pause here and take one deep,

Cleansing breath in for a count of three.

And release the breath for a count of three.

Let's do it again.

One deep,

Cleansing breath in for a count of three.

And release the breath for a count of three.

One more time.

Deep breath in for a count of three.

And release the breath for a count of three.

The effort that you put forth each day can feel heavy,

Challenging,

And maybe even unappreciated.

But you are strong.

You are resilient.

You are capable.

You are responsible.

And most importantly,

Is that you care.

Please know that you are not alone and how you feel from day to day is valid.

Be well,

My friends.
