PPS My fellow Americans, please take a few minutes to urge your House representatives and Senators to vote YES to Ukraine aid before Congress adjourns for its 3 week winter recess! You can find state-by-state info and a sample message here: https://www.communityforukraine.org/2023/12/07/congress-pass-ukraine-aid-now/

Please share this call with your friends in other states! Your voice matters!

I feel for you, Larissa. I know that numb feeling. Give some of your own love to yourself and take more rest. Compassion fatigue is a very real thing. We are all one.

Well done for taking what sounds like a badly needed rest. I can’t imagine how you and the Ukrainian people are carrying on for so long.

It’s been two months since my family’s country, israel, has been at war, and I’m not even there! I’m abroad - where I live and feeling burnt out and exhausted:(.

Take care, write when you can and rest too!

Thank you, Audrey! These wars are related. May we rest enough to be able to see and act with clarity in the world. Wishing your family strength and protection.
