What To Do When You Feel Helpless
Friends, so much is going on in the world I don't even know where to start. This morning I sat curled up in my cozy chair pondering if I should release a podcast or send out my newsletter this week. They both seem so trivial when Afghanistan is crumbling and so many are in danger [...]
