I appreciated the breakdown of what executive orders do and don't mean and will certainly be sharing this in conversation with my many concerned friends!

I cannot thank you enough for your writing. I have a bad habit of drowning in doom-feels, and these articles are helping a lot ^_^.

This winter you describe is downright frigid. It is especially hard seeing what is happening to immigrant kids and trans kids but I’m trying to apply what you taught in your webinar that I watched the other day. I thought of all affected by this winter last night when I attended a local interfaith prayer service for peace. Thanks Ben

Spring would not be as beautiful if we didn't go through winter first. The light will return. Thank you for this.

I have considered for some weeks how I want to be in this contentious time. I concentrate on the simple everyday pleasures of life. I go towards and advocate for, rather than fight against. It’s an entirely different energy and intention. I find myself oddly energized.
