No words.

The Oregon Nurses Association is outraged, heartbroken, and profoundly disturbed by the fatal shooting of 37-year-old registered nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026. Alex was an intensive care unit nurse and union member at the VA hospital who dedicated his life to caring for military veterans and their families. A life devoted to healing was cut short — gunned down in the streets by federal agents while speaking out.

Our deepest condolences go out to Alex’s family, his patients, his colleagues, and the people of Minneapolis as they grieve this senseless and devastating loss.

A nurse's job is to care for their patients — but they are also ethically bound to speak out in the face of injustice and human rights violations. Provision 8.2 of the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses is clear: “Where there are human rights violations, nurses ought to and must stand up for those rights and demand accountability.” That is exactly what Alex was doing.

Photo from my visit to his memorial in DC last year. It was raining and looked like he was crying. Which I'm sure he would be today.

This was something I really needed to read today. I'm sure others agree.

The onslaught of horrific news is taking a toll on so many of us. Please be sure to take care of yourself and your mental health during these heavily charged political times.

Thich Nhat Hanh, the revered Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, poet, peace activist, and global spiritual leader often called the “father of mindfulness,” once shared: “Someone asked me, ‘Aren’t you worried about the state of the world?’ I allowed myself to breathe and then I said, ‘What is most important is not to allow your anxiety about what happens in the world to fill your heart. If your heart is filled with anxiety, you will get sick, and you will not be able to help.’”

Social media can feel especially difficult right now because of the uninvited news stories and posts. And yet, I still love connecting with friends, and there are positive and inspiring things there, too. One such source has been the Walk for Peace, which began in late October in Texas and will continue through February.
The monks walking for peace continue an ancient tradition. For centuries, monks have walked in times of unrest—not to accuse, but to calm. Peace has always been practiced quietly, through presence and steady steps. Sometimes peace does not need words. It only needs to be walked.

If you’re unfamiliar with them, I invite you to check them out on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. Their posts are genuinely grounding and hopeful.
managing media exposure, focusing on what you can control, nurturing positive, social connections, and engaging in self-care, all matter more than ever. Check out our three sound bath opportunities this weekend listed under Events or go to our website calendar. Sending love ❤️ Dee

Oh ma goodness! Look what I found!

I had quickly outgrown my home office so we hired Bulletproof Construction & Excavation LLC to do a small but important remodel on my existing office by expanding into an attached outdoor shed/porch. Check the photo in the comments to see what space looked like before.

We had a great experience working with Spencer Smith from Bulletproof Construction and Excavating. The quality of his teams work was excellent, and his communication throughout the entire project was outstanding. He was professional, reliable, and made sure everything was done right. We’re extremely happy with the results and will definitely be using Spencer and Bulletproof Construction and Excavating for all of our future projects. Highly recommend!
