"My dearest Ruth, you are the only person I have loved in my life." In 2016, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg recited a handwritten letter that her late husband, Marty, had drafted to her when he was ill at a hospital in 2010. Listen here:

We see “I hope you are doing well.” a lot in emails. During the pandemic, it is likely that others may be struggling to balance work and childcare, grieving losses, and having limited social connections. Let’s be intentional about how we connect with others. 🤍🤍🤍

Starting in March, we created a series to help people with the stress & distress of this pandemic. This one is very topical now. Worth re-visiting 8. Decision Fatigue: Neurosequential Network Stress & Trauma Series 2020 youtu.be/Yc-Nv8eqfgM via @YouTube

When I find myself in tough conversations, when I am being held accountable, when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn — This is my mantra. It’s been a game-changer. Less armor. More learning.

On this day in 1940, NAACP leader Elbert Williams was abducted and lynched by a group of white men, including the local sheriff, in Brownsville, Tennessee. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. Share this #racialinjustice calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

The paradox of happiness: deliberately striving for it is incompatible with the nature of happiness itself. Instead, figure out which parts of your life are working as well as those that aren't. This is the first step toward #EmotionalAgility and long-term success.

Armed White men are treated as unarmed and peaceful. Unarmed Black men are treated as armed and dangerous.

True fact: #worry in the face of a real and pressing threat - this #pandemic - is smart. When we face a persistent threat in our environment our #brain’s job is to keep sending us messages until we get it: “Incoming danger! Alert!” THREAD

“Privilege is being born on third base. Ignorant privilege is thinking you’re there because you hit a triple. Malicious privilege is complaining that those starving outside the ballpark aren’t waiting patiently enough.” @GlennonDoyle @FCPSEquity

One of my concerns during this pandemic is wondering how we can all get through this and not let it become one of the most traumatic experiences of our lives. I thought having a conversation with one of the world’s leading trauma experts, Dr. Bruce Perry, could be helpful to us.

Grateful for the opportunity to talk with @Oprah about challenges of current pandemic - especially the tsunami of risk (physical, emotional, behavioral) that this will create. & the need for those of us with the privilege of work, resources, status, etc. to help those with less.

Emotions are running high nowadays. Whether you're struggling to face another video meeting or fending off fear after the news, remember to pause. While all of your emotions are worthy (and may feel extreme in the moment), most do not need to be acted on. #mentalhealth #covid19

I hope the closed eyes of others doesn’t cause you to lose sight of yourself. You are more than enough.

When we're not hungry for justice it's usually that we're too full of privilege.
