Hello Alice (not her real name but a real person) and anyone else who can relate or who wants to be 'better prepared' for such issues that are covering the news but with little time to reflect on what it means to a person (and that can vary widely based on spiritual and personal beliefs and one's social supports, life circumstances and much more...)

Reflecting on the start of a new day, a new season, a new chapter for many in life...graduations, gatherings, protests and things we say Yes to in order to co-create our collective human experience and world, nature and many other aspects of existence....

 Dear Debra Poneman and the rest of the world...I am adding a lot to the initial letter of thanks as I am moved, so bear with me...and read as you may find time or make time to do so...no pressure.
