IN SERVICE This year’s MLK March in Rocklin was a lovely event on what was otherwise a dark day for many of us. Leading up to the day, I had decided I was not going to watch the news but instead put energy into my community and into some self-care. While at the MLK March the keynote speaker, Judge Dixon, gave a beautiful speech reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King’s words on service. To me service really is about compassion. An acknowledgement of the complexities of human existence, how each of us navigates through those complexities and the value of giving grace to others because we all know how hard and messy life can be.

Don’t Spin Your Wheels Focus on What Will Work

Your head aches from reviewing the drama that Trump has created. Your stomach hurts. Stop right now. All the executive orders, all the firings of good people, all the disruption and drama--these are deliberately designed to make people afraid. Trump doesn’t have a plan (or a clue) about how to govern; he is just breaking things. That’s what bullies do.
