Hello there. It is February 6, 2025.
I had the idea for this website almost a year ago. It started with an idea about how can we move from one moment to the next. At the time, I was referring to uncomfortable moments. I can also see how some moments are so great, safe or comfortable that we don’t want to them to end.
And then. I found myself sitting in that strange liminal space, the moment between the November 2024 election until January 20, 2025. I tried NOT to let myself think about Donald Trump’s inevitable inauguration as the 47th president of the United States. Inevitably, inauguration day came. I read and watched part of Trump’s inauguration speech on social media. I was crushed when I heard him utter the phrase, “there are only two genders.” I did not know how I would move through the next four years. Trump seemed have a billion of careless executive orders. He shut down the government website for reproductive rights and pardoned all of the January 6th felons in his first twenty-four hours, including violent criminals and sexual predators.
Since January 20, I have been in a state of overwhelm. I stare at my socials and cannot seem to connect with my Trump-loving mom. During one sleepless night, the night Trump alienated both Mexico and Canada with his 25% tariff threats, I recalled my website: MOVE THE MOMENT. “Of course.” I thought.” With Trump’s rapid fire changes, why can’t we use this website as a resource to help all of us find ways to break through the overwhelm and actually move this moment to some place better?
We can! I will, or better, I will try.
I intend to use this website to share ways we can make a difference. I will try to stay on top of the every changing landscape and offer ways you can make a difference. Together we are stronger and we can move this moment to somewhere better! Please feel free to share moments that need some moving. Thank you!
