I was jolted awake this morning - on this the 115th anniversary of Juneteenth - out of a nightmare in which I was pinned under water and could not breathe. Taking that in. Below is the blog I wrote last week that was mostly cathartic for me, but friends have asked me to share. It practically wrote itself after I was accosted by a white woman spewing racial slurs and hatred while I was helping the clean up in Minneapolis after the riots. I will be spending this day reflecting upon it differently than I ever have previously, while continuing to consider how I can be part of the necessary change in a sustainable way.

Doing the work means building self-awareness of the good, the bad and the not-so-pretty within ourselves. Self-awareness breeds compassion and change.

I've been spending lots of time in reflection and reading on purpose and meaning, recognizing how many people and clients are struggling with identity, purpose and meaning given sudden changes due to Covid-19.

Here's a small thought to ignite a bit of positive change when you are feeling stuck: "The best way to find your purpose is to give your gifts in service of others." Richard Leider

Don't overthink it. Just do something simple that comes naturally for someone else and build on that. It may help you adapt to the changes around you and, even better, it may uncover a hidden identity that is more aligned with who you really are.
