While we're waiting, 6 Nov 20

Perhaps you, like me, are looking (or trying not to look) as we wait for the final verdict on the US election. 

If you need information: 

Here’s a link I found that explains why there still isn’t a verdict; although it was written before the election, it explains why some states are reporting red then shift to blue. https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/red-mirage-blue-mirage-what-to-expect-on-election-day-20201102-p56ane.html 

If you need hope and comfort: 

Sarah Blondin is a meditation teacher who I’ve found helpful. The one I wanted to share is called “access your inner source of hope” but apparently isn’t available on the free version of Insight Timer and I can’t find it anywhere online. But this is a good substitute: https://insighttimer.com/sarahblondin/guided-meditations/a-message-of-hope-in-challenging-times Trigger warning: Her meditations pretty much always make me cry (in a good way). They may have the same effect for you. 

And if you need to get moving: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuHlkHeIixc Sam& Dave: Hold On (I’m Comin’) Trigger warning: this song pretty much always leads to me dancing & singing. It may have the same effect for you. ;^) 

Hold on, people. And hold on to each other. If the whole Victorian lockdown proved anything, it’s that together, we’ve got this.
