A day late - Sorry

Thank you to all first responders! We appreciate you!

❤️ Not going to lie. The last few days have been hard. Current events can just break your heart.

You may not be on the scene, but what happens in the world around us can bring back memories, nightmares, frustration, and anger. Sometimes, things hit a little closer to home than others realize.

To those who are struggling right now, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Please know that you’re not alone. Whatever you’re feeling, you don’t have to push it aside or pretend you’re okay. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. It’s okay to talk about it. And please, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Asking for help is not a weakness. You deserve support, too.

These may not be the most eloquent words. They may not even be the right words. But they’re honest. And maybe someone out there needs the reminder that they’re not alone, that someone cares, and that they don’t have to carry the weight of everything by themselves.

Please take care of yourselves and one another. ❤️

You matter, too.

Here’s your sign. 📱

Put your phone down for 10 minutes tonight.

No scrolling.

No emails.

No news.

Just breathe.

Your brain deserves some quiet, too. ❤️

Laughter can be so helpful. 😂

Let’s start today with a little giggle.

Why can’t you hear a pterodactyl going to the bathroom?

Because the “P” is silent.

Check on your people.

Send one text tonight:

“Hey. Just checking in. How are you really doing?”

You don’t have to fix anything.

You don’t need the perfect words.

Sometimes knowing someone cares is enough to make someone feel a little less alone.

❤️

I know some people have asked when the 2027 Fall Retreat will be. We have some tentative dates, but we are still waiting for confirmation from Camp Luther. If we get the dates that we are hoping for, it will be earlier in September then when we normally have our retreat. Once we get confirmation, we will get those dates out to you ASAP! Sorry for the delay.

🌙 Evening — Grounding

Feeling stressed?

Look around you and name:

👀 5 things you can see
✋ 4 things you can touch
👂 3 things you can hear
👃 2 things you can smell
👅 1 thing you can taste

This simple grounding exercise can help bring your attention back to the present moment.

Take a breath. You’re here. ❤️

First, we want to thank all the family and friends of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We hope you take a moment today to remember those who have died while in service.

Second, as you are spending this Memorial Day weekend with family and friends, we also hope you take a moment to register for the 2026 Responders Retreat. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSebRRULIvpY8F0GDovLl7lZbUOD-7jKGQ2YGbXOx3udIEThMA/viewform?usp=preview
