Hi folks. I know it’s been A WEEK. OR TWO. OR A LIFETIME. There’s no doubt we’re living in chaotic times, and I know for many of us out there, it’s affecting our sense of control, of calm, our mental health, our heart health. But there’s a reality that I’ve been waking up to in the past few years, and I hope you are getting there too:

We’ve been living in chaotic times since the day we came screaming into this world. And any point along the way we convinced ourselves that we had control was merely an illusion that we came up with for self-preservation.
