Bad day getting you down?

You know, when I’m having a hard day, I just meditate and take some deep breaths. I take a long walk, and OF COURSE I say my prayers and take my vitamins.

Why do you ask?

If we make wholeness, justice, and wellness priorities, communities wouldn’t need so much “resilience.”
