This is an intentional reminder to pause and feel the warmth, even on the coldest days. Let the light be your anchor for one quiet moment. Notice the rise and fall of your breath, the way your shoulders soften, the small relief that comes from simply being present.

Mindfulness isn’t grand or complicated. It’s choosing one deliberate breath, one gentle pause, and letting that tiny practice steady you. Carry this moment with you—return to it whenever you need to remember you are here, you are breathing, and you are not alone.

When high-profile abuse cases dominate the news, it can bring up a lot of unexpected feelings. If you are experiencing anxiety, having memories resurfacing, or just feeling "off", your body is having an understandable response to incomprehensible violence. Please take care of yourself in whatever ways feel right. It's OK to turn off the news. It's okay to mute certain words or accounts. It's OK to step back from conversations that feel heavy or invalidating. It's OK to set boundaries.

Safe+Sound Somerset is here for you 24/7 with confidential, survivor-centered support. If the current coverage is overwhelming, you don't have to carry it alone. Call or text 866-685-1122 anytime. You deserve peace, support, and space to breathe.

Tarana Burke started the movement in 2006 to support Black and Brown women who were survivors of sexual violence. Her work created a global movement grounded in healing, community care, and survivor leadership.

Tarana’s message remains powerful: Healing is possible when survivors are believed, supported, and empowered to define what safety looks like for themselves.

Some days feel like carrying the whole world on your shoulders. When everything is heavy and the smallest tasks feel impossible, that is not failure, it is survival.

Choose one tiny thing to do today.
Make a cup of tea.
Step outside for a breath.
Send a short text.
Take a warm bath.
Finish that one small task and celebrate it like the victory it is.

You are not alone. There are people who see you, who believe in you, and who will stand with you through the dark. Hold this as a reminder: you are brave for showing up, even when it hurts.

Save this for the hard days and share it with someone who needs to hear they are not alone.

Long before the Civil Rights Movement gained national attention, Rosa Parks investigated cases of sexual assault against Black women, including the 1944 case of Recy Taylor. Parks’ work helped expose how racism and gender-based violence intersected to silence Black survivors.

This Black History Month, we honor Rosa Parks as a leader in the fight for bodily autonomy, consent, and community safety, which are values at the heart of Safe+Sound Somerset’s Choices, Boundaries, and Consent framework.

Understanding choices, boundaries, and consent is an important framework when classifying what healthy relationships look like. Healthy, safe relationships are based on freedom and equality and have balanced power and control so that each person can make their own choices, set their own boundaries, and give or take away consent.

How would you describe your best friend? Gentle. Loyal. Funny. A light you are so lucky to have in your life.
When they stumble, you don’t berate them! You sit with them, remind them who they are, and help them try again.

Now turn that kindness toward yourself. Notice the voice that rises when you make a mistake. Hear the old script that says you’re not enough. Pause. Breathe. Say out loud: that’s how old me would have spoken. I am kinder now. I am my own best friend. I love myself.

This is not about perfection. It’s about practice. Each time you catch yourself criticizing, pivot. Replace the harsh line with the one your best friend would say. Offer the same patience, the same encouragement, the same steady hand.

You are learning. You are healing. You are worthy of the same compassion you give others.
Save this as a reminder.
Share it with someone who needs to hear it today.
