I woke up this morning with this heavy on my mind, I’m not sure why. Perhaps it was because of the Facebook post I saw last night where my friend who, against all odds, was fronting her own small postcard campaign to eradicate and make […]

Today was a rare and magical day where we had a total eclipse of the sun, converging with a new moon, coinciding with the spring equinox. I knew it was a momentous time, and I felt I was not making the best of it. And […]
