@janashortal Thanks for this post! So important we let people know we're there for them and offer our support. They may not ask for help, but that doesn't mean they don't need you by their side.

[ConnectionZoo @ConnectionZoo]

So many things we're experiencing that we need to be talking about with others, particularly those with different perspectives. In this article written by @kjir, learn to have more effective courageous conversations.

Don't underestimate what your kids are capable of understanding. Start talking to them early about what matters most.

@2020SELExchange A great example is the many people offering their time and talents to serve others to create community and create collective power. Also, when we talk with others about what we're experiencing we can move from surviving to thriving.

Take a few minutes to read this brilliant article about big feelings you and your kids may be having during this pandemic. It's such a gift when our kids talk to us. Our gift back is to listen with love, presence and no judgement.

Wednesday is World Kindness Day. We’d like to think that everyday is kindness day. Let’s make intentional kindness a daily habit. Gotta work on #2 - it's a challenge for us!
