During a small transition with much-to-do, and in the midst of some global "ugly," Nettie updates some musings about our need to be gentle to self and the world. It is a reminder that Ugly and scary -FEAR - has been prevalent and in the forefront for awhile and that we need to remind ourselves to take the space and time to reclaim the balm of self-care. Ugly and fear are viral right now. We must take the Covid approach to mask ourselves with love so as not to spread droplets of hate and fear.
