Hi all!
Wow, I haven't made a new blog post in three years! Life has thrown me for a loop a time or two, but, like Maya Angelou said, "...still I rise."
So what prompted me to post after a three year hiatus?
Well, I just finished reading two articles about gator attacks in Florida and the second article really struck me. The article was written in the wake of that horrible Disney resort tragedy a few months ago. I shared the article on Facebook and was going to post the following as well but realized that I wanted to share this observation through a more intimate medium:
It's sad to say, but I feel like this year, the nation is in mourning. Multiple sects of the population have been affected this year politically, religiously, ethnically, etc. Parts of the world that had been seemingly untouched by tragedy have fallen victim, as well. Ugliness, biases both implicit and explicit, and heightened fears have brought shame to us all, even on other's behalf. The world is hurting. My naive, yet sincere, question is whether or not we can start to put aside our differences and work to heal our wounds?
