Recognizing what a privilege it is to be able to do so, I daily educate myself about what is happening outside the walls of my house and ask myself is how can I best increase safety, health, and joy for all and not deplete my health.

I was starting to get caught up in listening and then realized it was time to be at William Penn House.
