Some may say there’s a lot to be angry about these days. Much to be concerned about. Much to be disheartened about. All of which is true. This year has dealt us a bad hand. We keep pivoting and adjusting. There’s grand hope. But let’s get back to […]
When I walk the city streets of New York, I’m awestruck by all the people who have adjusted their lives so dramatically. People wearing masks, standing six feet apart calmly waiting to go into a store. Calmly waiting to buy fish, candy, or beer. And, that is because […]
We are strong. Or so we are told. We are encouraged to be strong. And, we want to be. We want to be full of strength. We want to exude it. But we are scared. And, that is ok. One can be both strong and scared. And, as […]
