"Every Little Thing is Gonna Be Alright"
Description
An account of the resource
In the Fall of 2016, I started putting together application materials to begin my Masters program. I had so much anxiety going into the process and a lot of life changing questions– do I want to continue with the theatre? Am I ready to leave my family and study in another country? The longest I had gone without seeing my family was maybe two months in college.<br /><br />One day, while working on my materials and going through the motions, "Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright" by Bob Marley just came to mind and I started to hum the song. I stopped working and played the whole song on my phone before I went back to work. This was a song my mom who died of cancer would sing all the time– and in that moment, I felt her and I felt peace. It felt like she was trying to say something, to comfort me. I could hear her telling me I could do it or that I was ready for the next chapter of my life. <br /><br />I finished my Masters and even went on to enroll in a Ph.D. program. To this day, whenever I feel my anxiety creeping up or whenever I feel myself falling into a dark place, I just sing that song and cry a little. After that, I feel great– a sense of calm and peace just takes over. It is not a magic wand that makes the challenge disappear– however, it provides me with little moments of calm and clarity to solve the problem. (And knowing that it is like my special time with my mother makes it even better.)

An account of the resource
From the moment I was born I was wrapped in the warmth of a blanket. The doctors and nurses took me, wrapped me up and placed me on my mom to keep me warm and safe. Of course I don’t remember this but I am constantly told this story.
Throughout my childhood I have had a blanket that I was wrapped up in. A blanket that I took everywhere. I would go places and have this to be my safety, my security, my warmth. There is something about being wrapped tight in a blanket, something about it that gives you that big hug you might need when you don’t think you need it. I love the feel of the fabric against my face, the smell of the fresh laundry, it reminds me of home or loving parents, it gives me comfort.
I think that everyone should have a favorite blanket. During a time in my life where I felt lonely and sad, when there were things happening out of my control, I was given a blanket. It was a blanket made of a minky material that was heavy and warm. It was given to me to be a reminder that I am safe and loved.
If this blanket could tell stories it would have many to tell, as it has been on many journeys. When I have been unable to have a blanket with me, I find that I wear a heavy coat, even when the weather is contradicting such options. This simple coat gives me the same feelings of security and holds in all those emotions that a simple constant hug can give. I have used this blanket for more than just warmth sometimes it became my blanket hut that I could escape the world around me. I could create a fun tent to play in, make believe, and even at times sleep in.
A simple blanket can warm someone without a home, can give comfort to a small child, can remind you of a loved one no longer present, and can even be passed down through generations. I have even seen some people make blankets into pillows or wall art.
I believe having a blanket in your life can bring so much joy and peace. I continue to use this blanket today. The simple warmth of a blanket allows me to feel love when I choose to be alone, embraces me without emotion, and gives me comfort to sleep well during the night.

Election Response
Description
An account of the resource
During the election week of president-elect Trump, I was upset. As I tried to make sense of my initial reaction and other’s reactions, a scripture from my youth came to mind. It reads, “...mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort...” When I was a child, I figured this meant you were supposed to comfort people that are crying. That week, I realized that people mourn in different ways. In this time, some of us post on social media, searching for validation and connection to friends with similar feelings. Some of us react by rioting, or by arguing, or just talking and trying to find our voice. Some of us react by hurting others around us. Fear and uncertainty causes varying reactions in people. On both sides of a lot of issues, people are in need of comfort.<br /><br />During that week, a scripture (a form of poetry and philosophy) changed how I viewed an issue and helped me understand more people on both sides of the issue. In this instance, the humanities made me pause and think, and helped me be more kind to my fellow humans.
