Recognize the quiet heroism of staying home.
Inclusive solutions emerge from listening deeply to all our needs and fears.
When we take small actions within our reach, we build sustainability, community, and hope.
As we restore our ease of movement, we restore our ability to be our complete selves out loud.
Treat yourself as if you deserve to exist.
Reconnect with your belly through kind touch and specific knowledge about the organs inside.
When we have more inner and outer resources, it is easier to take risks and try something new.
When the need for touch has been met well enough, with kindness and safety, we accept the ongoing need as naturally as we accept the need to breathe.
We can use our skills and resources to recover from mistakes and integrate them into the flow of life.
The more we sense into our present environment and the people around us with caring, the less we impose our world view on others.
