It’s also Martin Luther King Jr. Day here in the U.S. This quote of his seems appropriate, today.
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” MLK Jr.

Happy historical birthday to first lady Abigail Adams. In 1776 Abigail wrote this to her husband,John, & the Continental Congress:
“If particular care & attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to form a rebellion & will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice…”
“If particular care & attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to form a rebellion & will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice…”

This is like entering the cafeteria when you're a new kid at school. I'm Laurie Benson, a historical romance author looking for some antique-hunting, book-reading, tea-drinking, history-loving, sunset-chasing, art enthusiasts. You don't need to be all of those, one's just fine. Hope you'll say hi.
