Everyone I know is experiencing some kind of stress or challenge. We can blame them on astrological influences, as there are often planetary oppositions and conjunctions or Mercury retrogrades. We can blame our current political (need I say any more?) and environmental (think floods, glaciers, fires) climates. We can blame our stress on being overworked and overwhelmed (too many hours and not enough compensation).

However, most of the challenges we face have more to do with there being too much too soon. We can blame them on the dog, the job, or the kids. But we can only take so much!

How do we make do with what we have? Do we disconnect from the world and live off the grid with acres of green and in an Airstream trailer? Do we strut and fret over all the mind-numbing and handwringing events? Do we become zombies and wait for the zombie cure? Do we put one foot in front of the other and continue to move forward even though we may not know which direction to go? How do we face the challenges?
