DAY 50

We had a gathering of neighbors in our driveway this evening. Yesterday I sent out a text invite to bring your own beverage and come sit in the driveway for some much needed community conversation. I strategically placed out lawn chairs and a bottle of hand sanitizer. Nine neighbors came and we spent an hour and a half enjoying each others company. The sun was shining and it felt so good to be out in the warm weather with good friends.

I had the great pleasure of listening in on the 24 hour Call to Unite, hosted by film producer Tim Shriver. https://unite.us/  An amazing 24 hours of hope, advice, stories and music all aimed at helping viewers to cope with the pandemic. So many of the speakers truly touched my heart. One of the best was Marianne Williamson. Her message about how much we needed this wake up call, and how we can be changed for the better by it was inspiring. Partnering with GiveDirectly to support families around the world who have been hit hard by the pandemic they raised an enormous amount of money for those in need.
