Everything I need to know about self care I learned by running a soup kitchen

When I was responsible for feeding an average of 500 people per day through a free meal program the biggest part of my job turned out to be managing all the volunteers.

I learned very quickly that this is ridiculously difficult.

I am seriously not exaggerating.

Are you out of ideas for how to make yourself feel better?

Tantrums are a sure fire way to move stuck energy out of the body. Babies and children know how to do this until they are blocked by adults. Animals do this naturally as well - full body shaking after a frightening event.
Check this video here where I explain more fully and demonstrate.

Choose Love Challenge - Perform a Non-Random Act of Kindness (and brag about it to me)

Ok, deep breath. This whole lock-down thing is getting pretty old right about now. I’m over it. I want to just fucking walk into a coffee shop, smile at a barista and scarf down a chocolate chip cookie, without worrying about anything more than the cookie’s calorie count.

Is that too much to freakin’ ask?

Screams the frustrated and angry teenage part of me.

Why are the woowoo calm AF?

I saw this quote by Allison Cotton a few days ago on Facebook:

When the world thinks woowoo is cray cray but in a pandemic the non woowoo go cray cray and the woowoo are calm AF

We’re about 3 weeks into this now in upstate NY and I find myself today in a new stage of response…
