18. I'm a Buddhist, and my mission is to help sane folks stay calm

Sat Jan 28, 2017, 10:26 AM

Jan 2017

in the midst of Trump and GOP stupidity, recklessness, and evil. I know that it ain't easy, because I struggle with not freaking out too. But we need to stay calm and focused on electing progressives at all gov levels. We are more effective, when we remain calm and focused on the work to win this fight.

So take a deep breathe. Calmly look this evil and corruption in the face. Help your friends and family to stay calm and not stick their heads in the sand because of Trump's ugliness and stupidity. Hang in there.
