By Bettya Saleh Today I woke up to something painfully frightening. In the early hours of the morning, Israel attacked Iran, my homeland. When violence touches our homeland and the people we love, it shakes everything… body, mind, and spirit. My sister told me she...
By Danika Dinsmore I lived in rural Hawaii for many years, looking after my elderly mother and her property. When COVID hit, all flights to and from my home in Vancouver, Canada, were canceled. I was literally stuck in the middle of the Pacific. But being stuck...
