And there it is again, blowing in on that cold winter wind. I try to ignore it, combat it with proactive, pay-it-forward actions. Today I gave some money and warm coffee cake to a Street Roots vendor, and I start and end each day with prayers for wisdom and strength. Winter is always hard, for a variety of reasons. It’s too bad that my idea of career goals are not valued in our society. I wish I could make a living staying at home making art and writing, and baking cookies with foster kids.
