A long journey. May 4th, 2022.

It's been a day, I feel tired and still have a bit to take care of this next week for my trustee responsibilities. I am still honored that my grandmother chose me, I just never imagined the depth of what I was saying yes to a year ago and over a decade ago as well. My shoulders feel less heavy each day that more is taken care of.
