We've Been Thinking...

Happy Wednesday!
We know you’ve got a lot on your plate. We know you are probably trying to figure out how this whole so called "new normal" is going to work out. Take a beat. So is everyone else. So go at your own pace.
What never goes out of style is celebrating others. Raising each other up—that's what we all could use at this moment. Use today to lift up another human being.
Sarah Jakes Roberts has great advice on how we can all be there for one another. That would be a good new normal...honoring each other, listening to one another, and raising one another up. Don't you think?
We'll meet you in The Open Field.
Love,
Maria + The Sunday Paper Team
