Thank you for this writing. I so look forward to your Sunday morning posts!

To be honest, I feel uncomfortable with our current president but have drawn a line in the sand at just how much I will allow this situation to influence my emotions and ultimatelymy decisions. I am an educator first (I'm now an Educ. Consultant) and actually use my experience as a retired public school teacher to remind me of how to best respond. Toxic cultures are alike. In order to teach well, I had to shut out the toxic school culture surrounding me and focus on my purpose. I pay attention to current political narcissist behaviors, but refocus through worship, meditation and prayer and study. I gain strength through spiritual practice.

Dr. Chanequa, as always thank you. I just pointed out some of these issues the other day and the fact that I would not be engaging with people who support him, nor people who want to help me understand the various people groups I named (racists, self hating Black/brown people, and “Christians”) who voted for him because I understand already. My self care practices during this time is not allowing myself to be “consumed” with their every move, because I do understand the psychology of it. I limit my news sources to those I deem most credible at this time. Meditation practices, devotional practices and prayer and being a safe place for those looking for one. Thank you for your ministry.
