Staying STRONG!

Hey everyone!

Sorry that this post also is later than my usual Friday posts. I'm going to do my best to get back on track with posting on Friday starting this week! It's just been a very crazy and rather stressful week with everything that's been going on lately. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you here about the effects that all the events related to George Floyd's death and the surrounding protests are having on all of us right now, but I know so many of us out there are struggling with processing and dealing with everything that is going on.

I do want to say here in this post that I stand in solidarity with the entire Black community and my heart goes out to everyone affected by these events right now. I want to write more on the subject, I really do, but I think that will have to wait for my next post. I just need some time to collect my thoughts so I can write something that's as sensitive and as meaningful as possible.

For this reason, I'm also going to keep this post pretty short because I just need to take the time and do what I need to to take good care of myself throughout all of this. I am devastated by all of this just as much as all of you are and I realize that simple words are not enough to heal everyone's pain, so please just be patient with me as I process and deal with my own thoughts and emotions regarding the subject. I will be back soon with more. Thank you all for understanding!

So for this week's post, I do just want to say, whatever is going on for you, please do your best to keep staying STRONG, and do what you need to do to take good care of yourselves! Prioritize your own mental health, and of course use your voice to speak up and speak out for what is right, but please try your very best to stay safe! I'm always here for whatever you need, or even if you just need someone to talk to. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time! I know that by standing TOGETHER, we can make it through this, and we WILL!!

I will be back soon with more, but for now, just know that I am sending all of my love to each and every one of you! Sending lots of virtual hugs as well of course. Please, now more than ever, please keep doing your best to be kind to yourselves and to others!! Love you all, remember how STRONG you are!! I'm always here for you!! <3

Your friend forever,

Adam Silverstein :) <3
