Choose Well

Standard

Each day

The news

Brings information

Some bad

However the reaction

Your personal resilience

Determination

Brings hope

Effort into action

That understanding

Despite everything

Humanity will persevere

Because you focused

On the good will

Of the people

Choosing

Each other

Over the shellfish ego

That it is about

My future

Realizing instead

It is about

Our future

Our community

Together

Knowing good

Is inherently

The disposition

Of all of us

And even if

You see bad

Or have

Bad experiences

You personally

Decided

I will be better

I chose

With integrity

Never to be

The a**hole

But the one

Who despite everything

Chose well

-Jennie Nawrocki

I Am Not For Me But For Us

Standard

To be against one another

Does no good

Always wanting something

The other doesn’t think

Is best

It’s ridiculous to have anger

Maintained without a solution

There must be something

We meet in the middle on

Instead of being taffy pulled

In all directions

Imagine we were

Knights of the round table

Everyone and everybody

Had equal say

Take that moment

See a new perspective

I look for one too

In order to

To find a solution

To this wall of

My way, no my way,

No my way, no my way

No my way, no my way

It has to stop

It is not about who is the bigger

Or better person

It is about

Not having to worry

About knowing

What we accomplish

Gives the room

A calming vibe

Think We Need You

Standard

If the world was a complete horror more people would be depressed but it is not.

There are so many parts to love about this world. It is worth keeping and our lives on it are worth having days of calm, joy and safety.

Unfortunately we have a pandemic, riots in the streets, unbalanced economy and extreme weather.

This can be prevented.

First we have to stop thinking violence. Explain the bad are those hurting others.

Always de escalate, deflect or redirect, and defend.

The best offense is invisible.

Most importantly don’t think your opponent is unworthy think of them as future member of your team.

Think we need you.

Your team is no good if wounded so the less you wound your future team member the better.

Think we need you.

Believe me strategies change when you realize the other side is more important as an ally.

Think we need you.

Think we need you.
