The anxiety piece saddens me. Especially as a parent now there’s a large amount of pressure and adversity in raising kids today. There’s also a massive conversation we should be having about treating people as individuals and not the group identity the online world has given them in front of our very eyes.
I think you provide a compelling way forward. Loved your tips!
Parenting is so gnarly right now. I agree that our identities have gotten in the way of our humanity. It’s one of the reasons people will tolerate all kinds of ideas because they want to be a part of a group be do what’s right for a fellow human. It’s like we’ve forgotten that we are humans first. Thank you for reading 🤍
Lately, wherever I go, church, a conference, Starbucks, a grocery store,my kids’s school, I’m looking around to see who is OK. It used to be that I would look around and wonder who is not OK. Now I’m just looking for any sign that somebody out there is managing their life and doing all right and since it’s highly likely that not everything is going OK in their world, how are they OK? So I am just also here to say thank you as always for your inspiration and insight and helping us be the change that we want to see
