Back to the work that has been neglected since September 9th - the day we opened our headquarters in Cass County. Reading only headlines and barely listening to NPR have been my escape.

Re Reading an inspirational book - “Braiding Sweetrgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer in preparation for attending her lecture in December.

Reserving my energy to begin the next task - being a citizen lobbyist at our own state level trifecta. I can rest when I am no longer of this earth.

Hey Denise, I hear ya. But there's no way I'm going to Des Moines to lobby. There are SO many other ways we could be organizing that would be more effective. Lobbying now, in my opinion, will only add insult to injury. But I'll look up the link you sent. Thanks! You hang in there too.

This doesn’t mean I’ll trek to Des Moines but I will haunt them at legislative coffees and ply them with emails. The other thing is to support those surviving Dems.
