To help us cope with the insanity of the present, we need Christmas movies, nostalgia, brain candy, and pop culture to help us make it through.
I will be posting more about all these things in the days ahead. We need some aid and comfort in these days.

In August, we went to Montana to visit family who live on the Flathead Reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The Pend d’Oreilles also call this land their home. It heightened my awareness of the Native American culture and contributions to the nation. November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a right and just thing to recognize this special time of recognizing and celebrating the ancient and proud peoples that called this land home well before Europeans. They have sacrificed much past and present, and their history is an important part of world history.

With everything going on, it’s time to speak up and speak out. Our blogs are our platform.
