I don’t have many encouraging words right now. I am in quarantine, unexpectedly, and the 8th anniversary of Dane’s death is approaching. The winds are high, and my anxiety is leveling up exponentially as we barrel full-steam into an unpredictable year. So I offer these words, to myself and to you, on this extraordinary inauguration day.

For this days, and all of the others to come, HOLD YOUR OWN.

Thanks to Gina Hogan Edwards for posting this extraordinary reminder today of what is important.
