Mandela’s Muses

I have been thinking about empathy a lot lately, ironically, not necessarily empathy for others, but myself.
Subconsciously, like others, I tend to put people under different labels: the dramatic type, the hyper, the cool person, the picky, etc. Alas, I am finding that labels like people are always evolving.
Lately, I have been finding myself exhibiting some of the characters I once turned my nose up at in other people; being anxious, inpatient, overwhelmed, depressed. I am learning that life serves us a mixed bag, and the journey is up one day, and down the other.
I think we should all consider being empathetic not only to others, but also to ourselves, give yourself some grace, you could use it. And if as I have lately been doing, I am failing you in some way, please give me some too 🙂

Have you heard about Wheelzup Wednesdays?
Meet in front of Wheelzup @ Canal Place, we break into 2 groups, half of us hike, the other half bike. We don’t do it for speed or distance, rather time: 30 minutes out, and 30 mins back. This is one of our ways of building community.
Check out our stand on inclusion.
