THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY

The Karen Kenney Show

On this short episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I discuss the fires that have been happening in the Los Angeles area and some of the comments I've seen online.

While there has been helpful information being shared about evacuations, shelters and support, I'm also aware of some of the insensitive words that have been said or written.

Unfortunately, these are the kinds of things that often get said to suffering people during times of tragedy.

As humans, we can be a little clumsy – even when we’re trying to be helpful.

So, I encourage us to pause and really consider how our words would sound and feel to someone going through something devastating and difficult.

It’s an invitation to slow down and before speaking to ask ourselves…

“What would it be like to be in their shoes right now?” -or- “How would it feel to be on the receiving end of the words, comments, or actions I’m about to say, say, type or do?”

Ultimately, I remind everyone that we’re all part of this big family and we need to come together with compassion, kindness and love, especially in the face of trauma and tragedy.
