We need to be clear minded in order to effectively resist! And in this environment that takes work. It’s a daily commitment to be informed without getting overwhelmed.

Spot on! Not going to allow the extremists to keep me out of the promised land (can't let folks drive us to the point of no return); don't allow anyone to steal our joy; keep fighting, keep pressing, be mindful of the tactics at hand - and don't fall for the "okey doke!"

All of the above! I have a very geographically diverse friend group. So I get messages from all over the nation and all over the world. My friends in other countries wonder what is wrong with us!

A friend recently said she felt like she’s suffocating from overwhelm. And I get that. What’s unique about the things that have everyone upset in 2025 is that they are LEGITIMATE concerns.

People are not overreacting. This threat and this horror being unleashed on the populace is real.

And yet, I’m learning, I need to be informed generally speaking. I do not need to follow the hourly shenanigans, specifically speaking.

Just look at the tariffs, they’re on, no they’re delayed, no they’re back on, no they’re cancelled again. It’s psychological (and spiritual warfare), we have to be clear minded and focused to resist. And resist we must! ❤️
