Time has gone swiftly and I have been remiss in posting a blog. Please excuse me. Life has been busy, selling my beloved home and helping an aging parent move. I had underestimated what it means to move and now remember, it is quite something. There is an emotional side to it and a physical side -letting go of what no longer serves, being courageous in the face of change, sadness over what once was, and hope for what will be. Step by step has been my mantra, as has a persevering spirit within. I am lucky and know that so many others have no homes or are in terrible situations. And then, there are the countless animals dying because of environmental degradation, starvation, or pollution. May we all continue to be kind to one another, help those in need, and be kind to animals. Thank you.
