Tapping into sources of comfort and strength.

Dear Friends,

Many of us are moving through our days right now grappling with fear, rage and disbelief as we take in news about events unfolding in the Middle East. This is personal for many of us. And for anyone whose heart is already broken daily by reports on the war in Ukraine, the stories and images that are flying at us can feel overwhelming. 

Of course violence isn't limited to far-away places. Antisemitic actors are threatening and attacking Jewish people right here in America. Hate crimes against Muslims are on the rise as well. TTN members of all religious beliefs and cultural backgrounds tell me that they are deeply troubled by the bias-motivated barbarity that has erupted in our country and they stand firmly against it.

I hope you will tap into sources of comfort and strength during this difficult time, whether they are your spiritual practice, a focus on serving others, or tender visits with family and friends. We all know that exercise helps. And therapy! I am personally doing all of the above, with an emphasis on connecting even more frequently with the smart, caring women in our community who have become such an important part of my life.

I am so grateful for you.
