I Got Friendship Bracelets
I felt I needed to outwardly express my support for various social justice causes. The friendship bracelet is one way many have found to do just that. I got mine in the mail today from an African-American woman maker who owns her own business. Thank you, Kwonnie Robinson, for your good work. Check out her website, KEM Jewelry to order your own.
I chose the word Hope on my blue friendship bracelet because hope can be a dangerous word for those who oppress and advance hate. Everyone has to have hope because it’s good and keeps us going. The brown beaded one is a reminder to tend the soil of the fields of the world we live in.
Quote Of The Day

The First Sunday Of Advent 2023
Today begins the season of Advent which is celebrated by many in the Christian world as the prelude to the season of Christmas. This is an Advent wreath with four Advent candles that are lit on the four Sundays before Christmas and the Christ candle which is lit on Christmas Eve. I pray for a good Advent season to all who celebrate and may this be a time of mindful waiting and reflection.
