This week, we can see grace as a way forward. The extreme polar vortex impacted many we love. Where I come from, helping our neighbors is normal. Where I live, we have learned to rely on each other. Community reliance is a familiar concept for me. Many of us are living away far from our families. Others are living on right top of our families. Some are grounded by public health risks. Many can't stay home for livelihood risks. Global changes are changing our homes. Our relationship with home is not new. We're cooking, growing and sewing. Life's priorities are surely shifting. The world is slowing to steady. Life is our truly amazing grace. Generosity is a humble grace. What is our saving grace? Naturally,
