Oh JoAnn…what a journey and personal reflection you’ve written for us: a gem of an essay, and profound truths and harsh realities we often skim over or don’t allow ourselves to truly see. Thanks for the vulnerability…thanks for allowing us a peek inside. Wishing you a safe journey back home—you’ve truly experienced and seen more than the great majority of this world. That’s not nothing—in fact in many aspects-it’s everything.

Keep safe…and wishing you a happy holiday!!🎄
