@AmandaLandy The older you get the fewer you must please. I’m a fan of the Red Hat Society and the Raging Grannies. Hear me roar, and the rustle of my arm flaps waving in the breeze.
Today is Election Day, and with all the noise, it’s crucial to protect your mental health.
The pressure to stay constantly informed, the tension from political divides, and the fear-based messaging can feel overwhelming. Remember, you have control over what you consume and how you engage.
In yesterday’s Instagram Live, I discussed how to stay grounded amidst the chaos, focus on what’s within your control, and keep perspective, even if the results aren’t what you hoped. Choose your information sources wisely, set boundaries with your news intake, and don’t sacrifice your well-being to stay “in the know.”

On today of all days, breaking the political echo chamber with loved ones can feel impossible, but small shifts make a big difference.
Instead of challenging beliefs head-on, try approaching with warmth, respect and curiosity.
Ask open questions like, “Where did you hear that?” or “Have you seen other viewpoints on this?”.
Sharing perspectives if requested without judgment invites reflection without confrontation.
Encouraging loved ones to explore multiple sources is a powerful way to broaden their view—one gentle conversation at a time.

@hookskat I am. I am an Albertan. Already vaccine supply is shamelessly disrupted. Our government double checked with NORAD about suspicious contrails.
In the rural areas, we are losing our family doctors. Emergency rooms are shut down for lack of workers.
@clhubes@realgirl_fieri I wonder if you will experience what I did. The internet friends in my mind all speak with a Canadian accent. IRL, nope!
Funny I knew their mind and heart before I learned their mannerisms and accent.
@dalepartridge@TraceOutOfPlace So how do you reconcile the story of Abigail and her first husband? Her take on politics definitely was in opposition to her husband’s. And God called her wise.
When her husband found out, he died of apoplexy.
