Sagres was once thought to be located at “the end of the world” by early explorers.
Now, more than ever, #Travel if and while you can.

This was a gift I received this holiday season.
And wow, I didn’t realize how much I needed this for strategies and encouragement to fight back against this wicked regime in the U.S. Includes historical research into parallels and resistance in Nazi Germany.

We did a lot more hiking in the woods this year, both near and far. Good for the mind, body, and overall appreciation of nature.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Yes to this. We left our church because of the silence and found a church that talks about what loving your neighbors means.
