Feeling overwhelmed by the onslaught of terrible things in the news? I think we all collectively are. This article explores committing acts of kindness - a micro-rebellion of sorts in a harsh world.

Comfort is knowing the upper and lower limits of your experience. Comfort can be a warm cozy bed, a long-tenured career or a paid off house. It can also be an unfulfilling job in which you dread going to work daily and count down the days to the weekend, spending every penny you earn to recover from the feeling of slowly dying at your desk.

We speak to others and to ourselves all day long, and in doing so, we shape our presence in the world. We can talk powerfully, we can be demeaning, we can inspire, we can evoke emotion, we can express that we really have no idea what we are doing, we can empathize, connect, harm and we can craft complex (and changeable) stories of who we were, are and will be.

I forgot somewhere along the way, making everyone else happy, checking off to-do lists, paying mortgages, writing holiday cards, getting the oil changed, making it to the gym, and answering 200 emails before lunch. I forgot what music I liked, how much I love to dance, the movies I loved, and that I enjoy wearing colors even though black and white are easier to match.

Did you know they lock your head in a cage when they do an MRI of your neck and skull for over an hour? It was some of the most horrifying hours of my life and where my burnout truly began.
