All of the advances we thought we'd achieved seem to be on the chopping block once again.

What happened to our once-great nation?

Feb. 19, 2017. Reprinted here again for convenience:


Maintain calm awareness.

Be poised to shift stance quickly.

Don't fight fears or worries. Whenever fears and worries rush in to overwhelm you, just say to yourself "Oh, hi. You again." Then mentally in your mind open a window and let a breeze waft them away. Direct yourself to something that needs to be done, not as a distraction, but as a way to maintain progress forward.

We will survive. We will persist and persevere.

You, me, DU, Democrats, the USA, this beautiful world. We will persist and triumph together.

Log off, shut off the cell phone alerts, and give your mind and soul a break.
