TEsty Tuesday - the Tariff addition

Don't worry, I am not getting political here!  It is an emotionally charged time for many of us, on both sides of the border.  My hope for everyone in North Ameracia right now is that we reach for kindness even when it seems difficult.  One thing to help reach for kindness in difficult times is to be aware of what you are feeling without trying to change anything, just acknowledge what you are feeling in the moment.  When we are clear on our feelings it is easier to draw on kindness for ourselves and others.  

When I think about what is happening between Canada and the USA right now I am feeling sadness, dissappointment, and apprehension.  These are feelings that I would describe as uncomfortable feelings that I don't like experiencing.  Our tendancy is to avoid and hide uncomfortable feelings which can lead to further challenges for ourselves in the moment or down the road.  

Today I shared a grounding invitation (it included crumpling paper into a tight ball) with my email list to loosen up, nurture, and support these difficult emotions.  Be sure to join my email list to learn more tips and tricks around mark making and creative self care.
