1. Reflect in Mirror: Take 2 minutes of your time, find a mirror, look in your eyes and smile at your self. 2 full minutes! Even if they seem long. And if your attention roams away to a pimple, or a thought about your eyebrows, or to-do list, just bring it back to looking in your eyes and smiling at your self!
2. Reflect on Collaboration: Which personal or professional collaboration keeps you the most distracted from your focus or peace right now?

FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR JOANNA POTTLE DISCUSSES SOLIDARITY THROUGH ART!
Moments of national health and security crisis can often be critical junctures: do we as community members drift apart and become divisive or do we draw together in solidarity? This past Thursday, May 21, U.S. Fulbright Scholar Ms. Joanna Pottle, joined us from Poland to illustrate how we can turn crises into opportunities for solidarity- through art! Ms. Pottle asserted that solidarity is a human gift we all possess and that we can express through our creativity.
In her aptly entitled, “SoliDARnosc: The Art of Solidarity” (Solidarnosc, meaning solidarity in Polish, and the capitalized “Dar”, meaning “gift” in Polish), Ms. Pottle provided examples from her art collection project, showing how people around the world have expressed their gift of artistic solidarity. In breakout rooms artists and Legacy alumni provided examples of solidarity in their own communities, from banners supporting essential workers to scavenger hunts for children, to artistic videos for teachers, to artwork expressing common feelings of quarantine isolation.
