We made it to another weekend. The air feels very heavy, and I would be lying if I said I hadn’t been sitting in waves of sadness the past few days with all the loss. I wept last night when I learned of John Lewis’s death. It felt too close, and I am both angered and eternally grateful that he fought for our freedoms until his last day. He told us not to despair, and to get in trouble, good trouble. I find comfort in his optimism and determination. With that being said I hope you can find some comfort and joy in the things I share today.
