Good Sunday morning to you, readers, and happy first day of February.

Like many of you, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what’s happening in our country and how it feels to live here right now.

I’ve been thinking about how many people feel shaken and exhausted. Many feel as though the ground beneath them has shifted—and they don’t know what to hold onto anymore.

Many of us don’t just feel politically broken. We feel spiritually and emotionally broken too. And at times, it feels like so much that it’s hard not to wonder if it’s just us. It’s not.

Let me say this loud and clear: You’re not crazy or weak for feeling this way, and you’re not alone. You are human.
