We’re now 3 weeks out from a fraught presidential election, and many of us are finding ourselves in a higher zone of anxiety. Maybe you feel it in your body, or perhaps you’re unable to focus as well as usual (is it the election or is it pandemic? likely, both). We’re also facing the fact that we will likely have to wait for election results much longer than we often do. How will you take care of yourself leading up to and beyond November 3?
Walking around the Bellingham Cruise Terminal (Fairhaven Ferry Terminal) at the end of Harris Ave. can be very relaxing and picturesque. It is especially nice around sunset.
“Good people turn to love, courage, and kindness in times of crisis, not hate, fear and cruelty.” (Laurence Overmire) This has certainly been our experience at Interfaith Coalition!
Connection is one of the most significant pieces I’m missing in our church life these days. We don’t get to mingle in the social hall or bump into each other in the hallway after board meetings. Zoom events help a little, but often we do our business and log off (screen time is exhausting in its own ways).
