Love this Carol and am especially heartened by your preface. It has been a difficult week here. January is not far off. Travel is a gift I have given myself time after time and it has made my life so much richer, my curiosity so much greater, my tolerance so much deeper and it has provided me with an enormous appreciation for the kindness of the human heart. More travel is on the docket in the next months and I find myself increasingly eager to get away from the politics of chaos and fear, from the growing concerns I have about the direction in which my country is moving and from the divisive and hateful rhetoric I witness almost daily. As I explore more new places I also ponder about a permanent departure from my current dwelling. And I look to you and Paul as a shining example of grace, openness and acceptance. I find myself moving toward a crossroads and I am not yet sure where it will take me other than in a forward moving direction. Thank you for your kindness and your positivity. Your presence in my life is a wonderful gift for which I am eternally grateful.❤️
