At my local post office here in Utah over the weekend, I spotted a new sign on the bulletin board.
I love its message, and it’s a timely reminder for residents because our state has “reopened” from the covid shutdowns.
Here’s the sign:

Pillars of a Season of Moral Repair
Below is a recent email and video from 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson that I want to share here:
Dear Rebecca,
With the unveiling of the Whole Health Plan yesterday, we have established the pillars of a season of moral repair. Through it, we will harness the power of American decency in service to the healing of our country.
The pillars of a politics of conscience alter the prevailing political, social and economic patterns that dominate America, returning us to our deepest democratic roots and humanitarian principles.
The pillars are:
An agenda for economic justice…
We will repair the damage done by trickle-down economics.
READ PLAN
A Department of Children and Youth…
We will repair the damage done to millions of traumatized children.
READ PLAN
Mass mobilization to reverse climate change…
We will repair the damage done to the earth.
READ PLAN
A Department of Peace…
We will repair the damage done to America’s moral authority around the world.
READ PLAN
Reparations…
We will repair the damage done by historical wrongs.
READ REPARATIONS PLAN | READ NATIVE AMERICAN JUSTICE PLAN
The Whole Health Plan…
We will repair the damage done by an obsolete healthcare system that treats symptoms but not cause.
READ PLAN
From free college tuition to a removal of the college loan debt to universal healthcare to the expansion of Social Security to the adoption of a Universal Basic Income, we will transition from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line. We will make this question the core principle of all public policy: What is it that would help people thrive? Thus we will pave the way to greater peace and prosperity for all.
Turning love into a political force is not a pipe dream; it is simply a choice. These are extraordinary times and we have it within us to respond to them in extraordinary ways.
As your president, I will make sure we do. On January 20, 2021, may the healing begin…
With love,
Marianne

Introducing: The Encouraging Times
Hello from Flagstaff, mile 575 of 800 on the Arizona Trail, which I’ve been hiking since March 14!
In all of this walking, I’ve had several ideas of projects/creations to pursue in the coming months. One of these ideas is The Encouraging Times, a zine of uplifting stories, which I’ve decided to act on during my brief stay in town–before there’s time for any doubts to fester.
I’m on a library computer and the time is dwindling down, so this will be a brief post–but I encourage you to check out the above link to learn about this project. And then keep your eyes peeled for encouraging actions happening in your community, and send in your own submission!
I hope this post finds you well. Thanks so much for reading, and I’m excited to get back on here late May.
