In just two days, our country will elect a new President. This election has been the most unusual, controversial, and polarizing of my lifetime. With each cycle, it seems misinformation, hostility, and bitterness grow stronger. People on both sides let emotions...
When it rains, it pours—or so the saying goes. But for us this past month, it has felt more like a flood. We’ve faced the loss of a dear friend, endured two hurricanes, been displaced from our home by flooding, and said goodbye to our beloved Australian...
