For starters, check out the talks (and workshops) offered via Salisbury CT's Scoville Memorial Library on FB. Also see what Noble Horizons offers (just down the road, also in Salisbury) on Zoom. Next stop, SalisburyForum.org to catch up on talks as well as KentPresents.org or com. I am hoping to learn more from Tikkun Magazine online.

I hope to be more positive and upbeat since that can help
