Show Notes

In the wake of the shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX, I'm dancing in the discomfort Zone with you all.  Trying to figure out, how do we all live on this planet together?  Everyone is calling for action, and I agree, but what action, I don't know.  Policy?  Sure, but what policy and how do we protect everyone's rights and still protect everyone's lives?  It's an interesting challenge.

So in this episode, I reflect on some reading I've done lately (Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell is the one I talk about in this episode, https://www.amazon.com/Talking-Strangers-Should-about-People/dp/0316478520)  I reflect on belonging.  I reflect on doing better.  

I apologize ahead of time if my thoughts seem rambly...I don't have answers or clear thoughts right now, but I know I want to do the best I can all the time, and here's an idea of how I can do what is 100% within my control.  

Good luck out there.  Be kind, eat your veggies, drink your water, and know you're loved
