Sound Advice In Trying Times

April 10, 2017 by B.L. in Other

 

My sister sent me this message several months ago, when I was feeling low down and a bit helpless. I loved it so much I decided to pass it on. Thanks Sis.

My only comment, I would add some additional suggestions to Number 9. If you can’t show up and be counted because of limitations, you can still do something. Call your representatives like I did or email them or write to them like I did. All of that works too. The point is to do something positive. Don’t stay in your own little bubble world and complain about how bad things are if you aren’t willing to do more than complain. Read the rest of the advice below. It needs no further explanation

From a friend’s page. Sound advice for the times. This is also going around and for good reason:

  1. Don’t use his name.
  2. Remember this is a regime and he’s not acting alone.
  3. Do not belittle those who support him–it doesn’t work.
  4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness or his toupee.
  5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow.
  6. No more helpless/hopeless talk.
  7. Support artists and the arts.
  8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it.
  9. Show up and be counted.
  10. Gather & organize.
  11. Take care of yourselves.

Thanks for reading

About The Author: B.L.

After an unpleasant publishing experience, BL decided to take control of her own fate and that of her books. She became a self-published writer two weeks before All Hollow’s Eve of this year. She enjoys writing. She loves using her writing skills to release her inner bitch through the characters she creates. Her novels and short stories allowed her to examine who she is, in black, white and various shades of gray. She can work out her ‘stuff’ through her characters. She finds it very liberating to do so. She vows to keep writing until she can’t.
