First Women’s March in Los Angeles (I’m on the right)

The most important election of our lifetime is happening during a once in a century worldwide public health crisis. Scarlett red, electric blue, or a shade of purple in between, one thing we can all agree on is the infinite value of HOPE, ACTION, and GRATITUDE in moving us forward in the right direction.

I don’t know about you but I have PTSD from the last election. What I thought was going to happen didn’t. The political world as I knew it turned upside down with a shocking news cycle that has not let up. The comorbidity from the anxiety and stress due to the Coronavirus adds a whole other complicated layer. Record wildfires and hurricanes are in the news cycle. Reports of Election Day fears of outbreaks of violence are resulting in people stocking up on canned goods, toilet paper, and other basic supplies. Fears of a Civil War breaking out in our streets has resulted in an increase in gun sales and many to first-time gun owners. It’s no wonder we are all on edge.
