Dear Sky – This is one of my favorite quotes and one that I work to remember in my daily activities. Thank you for sharing it. Indeed, as the needs of the world only seem to escalate, it seems especially important to be intentional and wholehearted in our responses, rather than following the impulse to be frenetic. Thanks for your resonance with the message we are sharing…

Thank you for sharing this beautiful reflection, Debra, that I know has a place of deep resonance for me and many. Your articulation of the conflict is clear and compelling. May we hold each other and ourselves tenderly on this path.

Thank you so much Lisa. This is such a powerful story and tribute to your heart. The world is blessed by your convictions and commitments. We are blessed by your presence here. Stay close.
