We are settling into a new reality, a time of change. I find myself going back and forth between embracing and resisting the reordering of our lives. By consciously engaging we can use this in-between transition zone to adapt to the changing circumstances, and help others do the same.

We can strengthen what’s positive, caring and fun — virtually hug over Zoom; smile at strangers and friends from six feet away. Or you can join our neighborhood in the Mill Valley Howl.
