Such tragic and repeated truth. Like Olivia, I write and feel like I breathe and I just don't have any words or currency today. Thanks for naming the same old storyline.

I have no words…and I’m a very wordy person. I have friends in MN and a deep affinity for Minneapolis. The last week has repeatedly left me speechless, though not because I’m surprised. I’m not!

If you have even an ounce of pattern recognition or view modern events through a historical lens what we have witnessed of late is horrifically predictable. And yet, that doesn’t make watching it play out in real time sting any less.

Thank you for being a stalwart of saying the quiet, glossed over, and often overlooked parts out loud! Yes and Amen to all of this.
