In early 2007, I was standing in my kitchen with my hands on my hips as I argued on speaker phone with Kate Medina, my beloved book editor at Random House.
This touched me to my core. I work with folks in high conflict and often with trauma. Most of them also have privileges they've never named as such. This, this gives me more ways in. In Hakomi, a body-mind approach to psychotherapy we were trained to "JOOTS", Jump Out Of The System". This nailed it for me. Gratitude to your grace in sharing. When I read your word crafting and the content my heart smiles with being well cared for on the comprehending journey.
This reminds me of my father in laws' reminder when anyone would complain about something going wrong. "At least no one is bombing your village". Those words always hit home.
We can't afford healthcare for American children because we need to keep bombing everyone else's for the love of Jesus and Israel . . .
PROTOCOLS OF THE MEETINGS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION . . . Protocol No. 7 – World-Wide Wars
❝We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance by a universal war.❞
Oh you bet I will be appropriating this gentle and funny reminder to check myself. I enjoy your writing so much. By the way, I think your hobby is great. I will be chuckling over that all day.
"After telling—no, asking—a child to stop bouncing a ball, that child may insist on bouncing that ball one last time."
This little wisdom has stuck with me today. Maybe it extends to communication with peers. Sometimes it seems someone is not listening, but they are more affected by your words than you realize.
I'm about to talk too long at a NYC Council meeting tomorrow, but it's things they need to hear because they're doing something that is about to harm 10s of thousands of people. Your blog is one of my favs.
The ship of state as a yacht. 😊
In my family the phrase "1st world problems" is said as a reminder of all we have that a vast majority do not.
I love this . . . and I needed it as well!
I work for Legal Aid. This is my new mantra. Thank you.
How many of us searched for "No whining on the yacht" on Etsy? Love this reminder.
Love this!
