Today's posting was like a balm for my soul. I have been on a news blackout since Nov. 6, and you are the one that I wanted to "get back on the horse" with. Inspirational and aspirational. Thanks.

Jess you're a saint for continuing the Extra Extra! newsletter.

The clean energy train started by Biden & Harris has a lot of momentum and a lot of businesses now have money invested, so it will be challenging to derail, though we must remain ever vigilant.

Here is some advice that helped me...

1. Exercise if you can. It does wonders for you mental health. I've been pushing myself at the gym and it's helped me a lot.

2. Give yourself permission to be happy. That doesn't mean everything is OK, but let yourself enjoy the things that you love. It's OK to smile, laugh and have a good time. Feel whatever you need to, but don't feel obligated to be miserable. They want us angry and unhappy.

Best part of The Onion purchasing InfoWars is it's driving Alex Jones crazy.

Oh, and Trump maybe will be sentenced in New York after all. D.A. and Trump's lawyers will meet with the judge this week. Stay tuned.

I feel like I have to share nearly every single story you've linked here, just to spread the word! So many of these stories are examples of how this administration WORKED and got things done. And I need my circle to know that it was Biden/Harris, not TFG, when the benefits start rolling in. Thank you for sharing! Gearing up for another week!

We can’t only focus on the bad. We’ll lose our minds.

Thanks for this, Jess. So much. The past few days, instead of extreme anxiety, I’ve just been so sad at what we might have had. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but feel certain there was some irregularities in this election. It’s not helpful, so I’m letting it go.

All we have is this moment, and it never comes again. We don’t know what will happen — we think we do, but we don’t. I’m trying to remember this.
