GRAVE DIGGER Absolutely, empathy and understanding shine through in difficult times!

Ellen Barkin

Feelings aren't bad or non-positive. They are joyful (met needs), or painful (unmet-needs). Emotions aren't too big, but the ways we express them can be overwhelming for people! *Today, feel what you feel. Then express it in a way that can be heard🙏🏾 #PeacefulLiving (12/20)

Lea Thompson Dear Lea, Chi of LOVE (thank you), for all that you tweet to keep us informed (with you, Sophia Bush & Ellen Barkin, I'm able to work on empathic solutions, while you all keep me informed on TACO-TOTUS, un-truth social, dodgy/D-O-G-E & this DICTATOPIA/TYRANTOCRACY)

'Do all things with #Love' ~Og Mandino Focusing on needs (vs strategies), is key to #NonviolenceForCommunication! We all want ease, shelter, comfort & safety. But not everybody wants them the same way! *Today, notice opps to value everyone's needs🙏🏾 #PeacefulLiving (12/23)

Ellen Barkin

Happy MLK day. Let freedom ring! #mlk #freedom

'When we change the way we look at things, the things we look @, change' ~Dr Wayne W Dyer Do you have enemy-imagery (images of others wrongness)? Guess their feelings & unmet-needs, to step out of resentment & anger. *Today, feel the pain w/o enemy-imagery🙏🏾#PeacefulLiving (1/12)

'It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop' ~Confucius Do you want to live in a world where everyone's needs are valued, and we honor commitment & connection? *Today, communicate with the intent of discovering yours (& their), needs🙏🏾 #PeacefulLiving (1/14)

3) Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg ( conflict resolution )

What's a #Tyrantocracy? It's when the current president (TACO-TOTUS), and his dodgy/D-O-G-E un-truth social band of non-merry-men, use the constitution as toilet-paper... ...& those not affected (YET) think of themselves as observers of a sinking ship (vs passengers with POWER)
