There has been a lot of news this week, announcing big changes. If you find it overwhelming, I hope you are taking breaks from the news coverage (and social media) to support your well-being and finding ways to connect with your community. It’s been cold and sunny in the Pacific Northwest, so I was able to go for a run yesterday and met a friend for a walk today. I taught yoga on Tuesday night.

Another great tip is relying on experts to review the news and compile useful resources, so you don’t try to absorb everything. With that in mind, I wanted to highlight some resources for nonprofits.

“Giving up on America is not part of our national character. It never has been. Ever.
– Dan Rather”

Dan Rather reminds us not to give up with a quote from writer Rebecca Solnit.

“There is no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it’s sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part of taking care of yourself, because you are interwoven with the ten trillion things in this single garment of destiny that has been stained and torn, but is still being woven and mended and washed.”
