Do you have causes that provoke your engagement more than others? How do you describe that alertness that comes when people you love or issues you care deeply about are threatened?
I have one friend who says she feels her “hockey elbows” come out, another who says she becomes a mama bear. I’m not sure how I would describe myself in those situations. I know I’ve said at least once that I feel my cape unfurl. I just know I am aware when it happens and become wide awake to important work to do.
It happened to me today.

I’ve never heard the expression “hockey elbows” before. I like that idea. I’ll remember it the next time I have to stand up for a cause important to me.

Oh no. I know that feeling as well but have never given it a name. That is no a good feeling sometimes because it could be a loss of control. Hold all went well.

I have learned to sleep on things and this morning was able to make a good move. Less elbow, more hug.

Sometimes my triggers snap surprisingly instantly. Thoughtful words and level headed arguments come from deep within (or from above!) that I am sure I couldn’t think of myself. Hope all ended well for you today.
