If this meme applies to you, I see you. You are perceptive and emotionally aware. I applaud your instincts.

Someone apologized to me last week because she had thought I was overreacting when "he" got elected in 2024. She's now as alarmed as I have been. I appreciated her reaching out. We didn't know each other in 2016 but I felt alarmed back then too.

We must turn our alarm into action. Please do what you can to help protect our democracy and help those who are scared and hurting with what's happening right now. We're in this together and we will get through.

I'm on the Big Island of Hawaii now. We took a very bumpy truck excursion over lava fields to the Green Sand Beach, one of four in the world.

The sand on these beaches gets its olive-green color from a volcanic mineral called olivine. It's a gorgeous beach; but not a fun truck ride to get there! I hope you enjoy the photos. Aloha!

At this time in our country, all hands on deck.

I realize the news you're hearing is difficult. It certainly is for me. (And those Epstein filesโ€”Ugh. Just awful. Back on that later.)

I'm on vacation in Hawaii and while I'm enjoying myself, I cannot avoid staying informed about what's happening. I can do both.

And I encourage you to do both too. And help out where you can. We need to take care of ourselves AND we need to support others.

Because vulnerable people need our help. So please, take action.

Whether that's volunteering or sending money to organizations that work with vulnerable populations, donating to like-minded political candidates, speaking out when necessary, or peacefully protesting... Please do something to help.

It's also an act of self-care to take action when you feel helpless. Knowing you're being a helper helps you too.

But for now, we have to think of those who truly are afraid and suffering.

A friend with contacts in Minnesota told me about a Latino church there delivering food and other essentials for people who are afraid of leaving their homes. I donated to them. Please do your due diligence and find organizations that feel right to you but I will also post about this one in the comments if you feel so inclined to help.

Please, don't let your outrage cripple or numb you. People need our help. Thank you.

The United States is in urgent need of a soul repair. If you feel as I do, drop a ๐Ÿ™ in the comments as a commitment to do what you can to stop the madness and support ALL people.

There is another No Kings rally on March 28th. I'll be at my local one. I hope you will be at one too.

I follow Heather Cox Richardson to learn the truth about what's happening in this country. I read her letters every morning. If you don't already follower her, I strongly suggest that you do.

A question for you to research:

What nations have the highest level of emotional well being? (Clue: They're not dictatorships.)

Another murder by federal agents/CBP (Customs & Border Patrol). (Iโ€™m editing this because I originally wrote ICEโ€”federal agents nevertheless) in Minneapolis. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a 37-year-old ICU nurse. He was helping to save veteranโ€™s lives.

Watch the videos. He and Renee Nicole Good did nothing that warranted being killed.

My heart breaks for them, their families, and this country.

We are supposed to be a nation where peaceful protest, as per the First Amendment of the Constitution, is allowed. Things are bad, my friends. And if you're not personally affected by it now, don't be naive to think you won't be.
