This is the playbook, folks.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Every challenge you face is an opportunity to plant a new seed, water it with effort, and watch it bloom into a beautiful flower of resilience and self-awareness. Even the most resilient trees once started as fragile sprouts.🌱🌳🌸

Change is messy for us humans, we don’t take it “lightly”

Remember, change isn't always neat and tidy, but it's those fiery moments that often ignite the most significant transformation.
