As we move into the part of the year that can be emotionally difficult for many, I want us all to be aware that this year is different. The holidays will be accompanied by another year of the pandemic, major disasters e.g. flooding and fires, Afghanistan, political unrest spawned by Texas legislation and more. We have to drop the facade that we are fine and dandy. Instead let's be vulnerable and share how we are feeling so we can get help during these uncertain times.
