“You are brothers & sisters now. And anywhere you go you are free...Now, imagine feeling safe…” Hubby just played Lauryn Hill’s new song on the Warriors album & I am FLOORED. The timing. The message… Big ups to Eisa Davis & Lin-Manuel youtube.com/watch?v=tAwc-W…

My family had a A LOT of difficulty over the Christmas break. So, me & the kiddos are just now getting around to making gingerbread cookies. Thankfully, one of my dear friends is a nun & she celebrates Christmas until mid-January (Epiphany?). So, we’re still in the season!
