In case you struggle with low mood in/are daunted by the winter & long for hellebores & tiny daffs this👇isn't as many weeks away as it seems.
If you love the winter then 👍, this is just a photo of spring flowers that'll help alleviate any anxiety you're facing today & give you a ping of dopamine 🌿

In the bracken and the heather, Stag was waiting to lead us deeper into the mysteries of the otherworld and enchantment of this one.
He’d journeyed many times between the two and wanted to share his secrets.
First step, he thought, is just to enjoy the bracken and the heather.

"Rena" is picking raspberries in Santa Cruz, CA. "We're very wet as it is raining hard. There's very little fruit left so we only manage to harvest a box an hour. We work 6 hrs a day and get paid CA minimum wage. We worry about earning enough to cover our bills." #WeFeedYou

Fox could get a little overwhelmed with the things life threw at her. She was the first to admit she found it hard to keep it all in perspective.

She wasn’t hiding.
When she was ready she’d reconnect.

Liquidambar leaf palette just now👇🏼. Pause for a moment if you’re feeling anxious-your brain’s likely to release dopamine due to a positive response to colour gradation, certain bright colours & looking at images our brains find appealing.

💚That deep sadness you feel, the irritability, anger, and numbness. It’s grief. Grief for who we were. Grief for who we could have been. Grief for the loss of CDC as we knew it and all that means for so many.

Be kind to yourself. Be patient. It’s ok to grieve. 💚

Next week we will discuss the devastating impact of the CDC cuts to Americans. Today we are taking time to absorb. If you got cut, know that we love you and are here to listen and help.

No matter what happens and where you end up, you will always be part of the CDC and public health family. ❤️‍🩹
