I have dropped off of checking in on folks this year. I want to encourage everyone to practice empathy and community by choosing one person they haven't spoken with in a while and just checking in with them. Empathy is a learned trait that has to be practiced and we all could use a little more of it.

I also want to encourage everyone to reach out and speak with someone about their emotional and mental health needs. Whether it's a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional. I want to de-stigmatize getting help with big emotions and trauma. You are important, you matter. I am here to pray for and encourage you.

I hope you have an amazing day! 💜
