We can remain focused on the work ahead while honoring a historic moment and celebrating the immense fortitude it took from so many to get here.
We contain multitudes. The struggle continues, and joy is good fuel.
Be good to yourselves today, stay safe, and stay masked!

I’m going to be spending my day *not* on here so I can just exist in this moment. And I’m going to be thinking of all those who did not survive this presidency, and all the scars we will bear. I will think of all we owe them, in our laughter and our tears and our striving.
I’m going to be thinking of all the people who did all the things to get us here to this moment, the names we know and those we do not, and pray their protection, their covering and that their cup overflow with abundance for all they have contributed.
I’ll be thinking of us, as we run toward more as quickly and as urgently as we can, not away from “division,” but toward true progress that *we* have to make so.
Division is not my worry-it can be the cost of progress. Stalling out is my true fear.

But today? I let the sun shine, so it’s warmth can fill and restore me, and we can commit to keeping the light at our front as we fight the fights ahead.
I’m thinking of Maya Angelou’s 1993 inaugural poem on today. My dad made us listen to the cassette tape going to and from school.
“The Rock cries out to us today,
You may stand upon me,
But do not hide your face.”

History is being made. I celebrate it-and commit to keep on making it, in all the ways that matter, with all the people who care.
Be well y’all.
Be well y’all.
