GRATITUDE

I think it’s time that we pause for a little self-care and gratitude. Things seem pretty bleak out there sometimes, but there are many things to be thankful for. There are so many of us working to make this world better, including everyone reading this. Here are a few things to read and do, lest we forget why we fight.

See you right here, bright and early Monday morning!
