Whiners, complainers, and fears, OH MY!...Dwelling on how awful things might be exhausts the creative spark necessary to move ahead. Response-ability is handicapped by inhabiting the land OH MY! where imagined charging lions, tigers and bears roam...
248-Let’s Make it to 250
Other than the person who made you feel loved and safe or the one who received that grace from you yesterday, the most important thing in our sphere of influence was the action of the SCOTUS to remove your power to choose your government.

Life sometimes … Continue reading It’s a desert.
