My latest Substack post. The No Kings events across the nation gave us many signs of hope.

UPDATE: Since I wrote this, the official estimate for Downtown Cleveland has come in - 20,000 attendees!!

Our Block Party for Democracy event today was great. And the dogs really stole the show! I'm so grateful to friends old and new who worked so hard (and volunteered) to make this a great event.

The Grand Canyon National Park North Rim holds a special place in the hearts of my family. We're heartbroken by the news of the wildfire that destroyed the grand old lodge and historic cabins. This is the subject of my latest substack.

Inspired by positive feedback I received from my story about my Aunt K, I decided to started my own Substack. I'm not a professional writer, but I thought it might serve as a positive outlet & I think it would make my grandmother proud. I'd love it if you'd follow along!
