I feel the same way. My attention is one key thing I have control over, so I'm thinking a lot about how to take care of it.

Excellent choices. I’m trying to distance myself too. I voted for Kamala and there’s nothing more I can do except vote again for Dems in 2026 election.

Making comfort food while steadfastly holding on to where we spend our attention and focus on our personal sense of power. I love it!

Thank you for the recommendation and for your perspective. As a Canadian, I have to admit I spend way too much time (and always have) on American politics, and boy am I terrified right now. The Best Friend we ever had has turned coat on us and now we have nobody to defend us - because America has always been our Defender. Trying to stay calm, but it doesn’t work very well!

Let’s claim our minds, hearts.
