With deep Arctic cold across the US Midwest and East Coast, blizzards and snowfall along the Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana (New Orleans had a record-breaking 10 inches of snow in some parts), the devastating continuing wildfires in California, and the nefandous executive orders by the convicted felon and authoritarian who is now US President, it’s been a challenging week for everyone who cares about the harm and despair people are experiencing.

I’m grateful to everyone sharing positive news and uplifting blog posts.

Here are a few stories, posts, and resources I’ve read and enjoyed over the past month.

Hope you enjoy them, too!
