While this summer was not what I had planned, it was one of the best ones I have lived.

Pandemic Creations, Take 2
Plans for the month of April and spring break were not this. Life is different. Weird, finding ways to fill the days. Plans have changed. Studying, finding ways to renew strength, power through. Thankful for all that is. I am here, alive when so many are perishing. Life is good, quiet. Blessed to be.

We are the Change
At the library this week walking to the hold shelf I passed a display of writings honoring Dr. King. The librarians had a nice mix of literature, young adult, adult, and children. We are the Change was in the mix. I could not resist picking it up. Having minimal time I added it to myContinue reading “We are the Change”
