Good morning my DU family,

I will be posting a broad update later today, many things happening all at the same time.
When things get crazy busy or chaotic, sometimes stillness is the best immediate response to being overwhelmed.
Please give us a day complete with opportunities to experience our life's ups and downs with the awareness that we aren't alone and everything can't be solved in a single day or moment.
Please love one another today knowing they may be going through some things as the saying goes
Love, John
