'Joy is confirmation of a met need. Pain confirms an unmet-need' ~Mackenzie

Others' actions can be a stimulus for our feelings, but not the cause. And recognizing the difference is important for our health!

*Today, connect your feelings to your met & your unmet-needs 🙏🏾

'The 1st point of courtesy is the TRUTH' ~ #Emerson

Have you ever traded honesty & authenticity, for acceptance & love?

*Today, make a commitment (standing, breathing & moving with confidence), to be authentic (even if you're worried about your need for acceptance)🙏🏾

Q: Do you think Mr Sessions needed a whistle blown (or a flag thrown), for all the BS he was slinging yesterday?

*journalists aren't observers of a sinking ship called DEMOCRACY (they are passengers with keys to the extraction-pump)🇺🇸🙏🏾( #LFG )

Which do U think is more effective communication (BS, said simple & direct, or the truth-telling...sometimes perceived as a passive-aggressive, coping-strategy ... #LiberalSarcasm)?

S/O to #TheWeekend team👊🏾

Q: Do you think the #EyesOfOurEra (journalists), need to evolve into #JournoRefs (matching ENERGY & FREQUENCY with INTENSITY & URGENCY, refraining from ANY timid-hesitancy)?

How about you, @NicolleWallace.bsky.social @FredGuttenberg.bsky.social & @MorgFair.bsky.social?

🇺🇸🙏🏾

Dear fam of @TheWeekendMSNow.bsky.social

Will you please stand-up for viewers when GOPers use the noun 'democrat' as an adjective?

...& refrain from #CredibilityCloaking (dodgy/D-O-G-E, un-truth social, the current president)

...co‑creative evolution'

'nothing regresses, awareness only unfolds (evolution's a spiral)...the resurgence is the sound of old frequencies dissolving in the presence of a higher resonance'

*keep attuning to that higher field (live, speak, act as if...protective‑cooperation were already the norm)

(cont'd) Besides looking forward to Ali one day saying 'the current president & his dodgy/D-O-G-E un-truth social band of non-merry-men, are using the constitution as toilet-paper'...

Dear folks at #TheWeekend,

1. How are you feeling today?

2. Do you believe the current president is using the constitution as toilet-paper (vandalizing & looting the bribery-clause, with unlawful foreign-corruption-gifts, scams & mayhem)?

3. Will you match energy/frequency with urgency/intensity?

Dear cast & crew members of @TheWeekendMSNBC.bsky.social,

Would you be willing to remember that every time a GOPer uses the noun 'democrat' as an adjective, it's a toxic insult to your viewers?💜

Feel me, @MorgFair.bsky.social @FredGuttenberg.bsky.social & @NicolleWallace.bsky.social?👊🏾 #TheWeekend☯️

You know how bad-faithers need good-faithers to

1. Lend dignity through terminology

2. Underestimate verbal-psychology &

3. Ask bs-entertaining escape Q's (frequently)?

Y'all ready to shift from journalists to Journo-Refs (blow a whistle, throw a flag & stop the game/call time-outs)? #TheWeekend

👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾, G!

The twice-impeached, sex-abuser, convicted-felon, cult-leading, current-president (& his dodgy/D-O-G-E un-truth social band of non-merry-men, are way over there skiis...

Having gone to the same HS as @JoanCBaezOfficial.bsky.social, studied #CompassionateResistance w/Gandhi's grandson & played for Pres Bush, I found this ep of #TheBestPeople transformative, nourishing & inspiring🙏🏾

Btw Coach Wooden taught us #WinningWithHonor & @FredGuttenberg.bsky.social is AWESOME😉

'No-one rises to low expectations' ~Emily Dickinson

Do you want to be objectively-honest? Then try the #EmpathicCommunication 4 step:

OBSERVING: When you drove me to the airport,
FEELING: I felt GRATEFUL.
NEEDING: TYSM for the COURTESY🤗
REQUESTING: Feel me?

*Today, #EmCo🙏🏾
