Wow, Courtney. This brought tears. Thank you for your honesty and your call for action. Lately, I've thought a lot about the messages I see that tell us it's okay to "take care of ourselves," to disengage for the sake of sanity. I know there's truth to that, and burnout, with times are as they are, is real. But I also know it can be a code for not stepping up because we have the option not to, because the impacts aren't affecting "us."
We're all connected. I so appreciate this tender and pointed reminder of that.
so very powerful and true..... as a Christ follower... I'm still waiting for Christianity to catch up with Jesus... In Jesus we move from "notice me please" to "the least of these..."

Self care is critical. I could not agree more. I am no good to anyone if I am not good to me.
I hear this! And I agree. I also know the level to which you are paying attention, extending your heart, and am grateful for that. <3
Thank you
