It is an incredibly stressful, anxiety-filled time for many of us. Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance - financial, emotional or a helping hand. If you are feeling overwhelmed, call a counselor, pastor or trusted friend and take long breaks from the news. Consider giving mindfulness and meditation a try to calm the nerves and stay centered. Finally, be thoughtful, be prayerful, be hopeful, rest, recharge and lend a helping hand to someone. You are not alone. We are in this together.

Dr. King taught us that the strength, conviction and action of one person can change the world.  Continue to walk in the footsteps of a King.  Never stop fighting for the right to live with honor and dignity, as one human race.
