I can only control my own actions. Today I am taking care of myself, checking in with friends and neighbors and dedicating myself to health and service in 2025. A focus on my health to ensure I am at 100% and able to give my time to service/community and stay committed to fighting for as long as I can.
I’m so sad. My daughter and her husband took the other side. Her to children, my granddaughters, 29 snd 24 may have also gone their parents way. I tried to educate them. Oldest granddaughter may be looking into IVF.
Thank you for your words of encouragement, because I feel broken this morning.
Crushed!!! I was in this journey with Kamala. I feel so bad for her and for us. I guess we’re going back. I was so ready to turn the page. One thing I won’t do this time is give into the deep despair I felt the first time around, waiting for Joe. Life is too precious not to embrace it for good.
I asked if my kids wanted a song on the way to school and my almost 8 yo picked Down Bad. I was in a very fuck it mentality so I let them listen. I’m still listening to it now. I am so, so sad. I am struggling a lot today.
Just sickened not by the Electoral College, but by the tremendous amount of “popular voters” who obviously support racism, the exploitation of women, fascism, terrorism…the list goes on and on. All hail our new pedophile leader. 🤮 The only possible upside I can see to this is maybe it prevented a civil war and will save some American lives since the majority want to wallow in hatred against their fellow brothers and sisters. Let’s pray he doesn’t instigate another World War instead.
I am here with you. So troubled with this outcome but have always been able to pick up and move forward. Seriously grieving what could have been but then will stand back up and continue to be the Light for those who will be afraid of what will affect them live their lives authentically and safely. Liz, thank you for being there and your Mom also.
Liz - I too was distressed by the result; I'd predicted a win by 6 electoral college votes, but going the other way. I'm not deterred in my humanity or citizenship of my country - up here, 10 provinces and two territories; your next door neighbours who share so many concerns beyond our common border. I was not surprised by the closeness of an election which, in itself and by itself, is just an election. It's leaders that unite countries and deep divisions do not occur on one night every four years. The uniting of any country or organization requires leaders to lead and followers to follow with some share goals in mind. Que sera, sera ...
Thanks Liz, I am really struggling today. At work holding back the tears. I too have two girls and am just so scared.

The soul is tender,
gentle, shy, soft, and also
tough and tenacious.

Mostly bewildered today as I put my skills to use helping patients with PTSD. Again. Love you.

Good one Liz, as usual
Liz, you echoed my thoughts. Thanks💕
thank you & appreciate you and your words so much.

I am sad, too.
Yes! It’s ok to rest and be sad but we won’t give up. I’ll never stop fighting to you either.

It's been a couple days now, and I am still struggling to find my moorings. How did we let this happen?
