I’ve decided this is my year of ‘magical’ thinking. I’m usually a pragmatist but the way the world is going in my insular little space isn’t making me feel safe nor confident.

With Executive Orders coming like hummingbirds to a feeder, I’m choosing to ignore the steady drumbeat of isolationism, cultural bludgeoning and misogyny.

I’m not saying I won’t let my voice be known when I see things that need to be made right, I’m just saying, I’m going to believe in the affirmative and assume the ship will be righted.
