I have been feeling at a loss for words in this moment in history. I attempt to write here to share my views on living a great life.

But right now it is clear that I have privilege to live a great life each and every day that many people, those of color in our country, do not have.

Today I will take a pause in terms of this blog.

This week, I will take a week to listen and learn and to better understand what is happening right now (and beyond, but starting now with this week). I stand in support of the #amplifymelanatedvoices movement which urges white voices to help amplify voices of color instead of our own. 

If you are or know a person of color with their own business who would like to be featured here or in my newsletter, please let me know.

Below are two resource lists from which I will be choosing books to begin reading.
