Today I'm going to pause the conversation about The Neighborhood.
How are you?
How is your heart feeling today? Mine is feeling heavy with the news of the week. Among other things, I’m thinking about what we can do to care for ourselves and our loved ones right now. I’m thinking about what I can do. And I’m hoping we can do so much better in the United States. Here’s some information I received in an email from Fiveable on Wednesday.
Now is the time to take action, heal, and make change:
