The image shows a pillow with a colorful โ€œFeelings Wheelโ€ printed on it. The wheel is a tool often used in therapy to help people identify and articulate their emotions more precisely.

You aren't poor because another poor person came to your country. You re poor because rich people exploit your labor.

The image shows a person holding a hardcover book titled We Will Rest! The Art of Escape by Tricia Hersey. The book cover is deep purple with gold lettering and decorative elements, including a constellation-like pattern. The spine and part of the cover are a contrasting golden-yellow color. The authorโ€™s name is prominently displayed, noting that she is a New York Times bestselling author of Rest Is Resistance. The person holding the book has a black sleeve visible and is wearing nail polish with a gradient effect transitioning from dark blue to silver. The background consists of a paved walkway or brick path.

The image shows an open book with a page containing a large, artistic black calligraphic letter โ€œLโ€ at the top. Below it, there is a passage affirming the readerโ€™s worth and encouraging rest, not as a means to be more productive but as a divine right. The text urges the reader to take a break, lay down, or daydream after reading. A purple ribbon bookmark is visible along the left edge. The lighting is soft and natural, and the background is a neutral surface.

The image shows a close-up of a book page with a passage discussing the effects of grind culture on imagination, self-worth, and exhaustion. The text critiques the belief that worthiness comes from burnout and encourages focusing on escape and transformation. The passage ends with an affirmation of freedom: โ€œYou can be free. You are free.โ€

You DESERVE rest. Rest is resistance to the constant grind of daily life and societal expectations. ๐Ÿ™Œ When I saw this little book at Charis Books, I just had to get it! #rest #resist #napministry #charisbooks

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. Itโ€™s you. Get to work.

Don't know who said it first but it bears repeatingโ€”if you really don't think what Musk repeatedly did was a Nazi salute, please record yourself doing that exact thing and post it across all social media, and make sure your employer sees it.

Oh...is that awkward gesture too much now? Interesting.

How are you honoring this holiday? ๐Ÿ’œ I encourage you to do more than simply post a MLK quote and call it a day.

Here are 2 action items I plan on doing. Add your fav businesses/accounts. ๐Ÿ™Œ

The image shows a pop-up message from the CapCut app stating that it is unavailable in the U.S. due to a law banning the service. The message assures users that CapCut is working to restore access.

Everyone is posting about the Tik-Tok notice but I donโ€™t see many about Cap Cut. Received this message and glad to see no mention of DJT (who, by the way, wanted the ban back in 2020)

Thatโ€™s a great way to signal to your brain to start relaxing and get ready for sleep. Thanks for the suggestion!!

This is easier said than done sometimes. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ What are some of your night-time practices that help with sleep?

One suggestion: give yourself adequate time for your nightly routine. I prefer an hour!

A teal square with the text: โ€˜Be patient and remind yourself that big things are achieved not all at once, but day by day.โ€™ Below the text is the NAMI logo, which stands for the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Something to remember as we start on resolutions. Routines are created through day to day consistency. Keep moving forward, even when you slip.
