When one man can drop bombs without asking anyone first, it’s not leadership—it’s a warning.

A warning about how fragile democracy is.
A warning about what happens when power becomes performance.

I don’t know all the political details.
I’m not pretending to be an expert.

But I do know I’m trying to raise children who lead with empathy.
Who know kindness isn’t weakness.
Who don’t confuse violence with strength.

And it’s hard—so hard—when the people running the world keep modeling the opposite.

What do we tell our kids when leaders skip diplomacy and choose destruction?
How do we teach compassion when cruelty is rewarded?
How do we make space for hope in a world that feels like it’s burning?

When this kind of thing happens, I try to remind my kids:
“We don’t have to match the world’s fear or rage. We can choose to stay soft and strong at the same time. We protect others, we speak up—and we don’t forget to feel.”

I don’t have all the answers. But I’m here. Heart open. Eyes clear.
And if anyone wants to sit in a circle and talk—about how we hold onto humanity in moments like this—I’ll make tea. And start fires that light the way instead of burn s**t down

Love,
Cheryl

Big news! I’ve started sharing my deeper thoughts, messy truths, and dragon-waking wisdom over on a new Instagram:

Blogs and behind-the-scenes reflections

Farm life + nervous system nerd-outs

Rewilded healing, system-smashing, and maybe a few poetic rants
