Editor: Ashley Teil Have you ever thought about where you are when you are thinking about something? Think, for a moment, to see what you are giving your attention. For instance, think of a loved one who is far away, perhaps on the other side of the globe. Notice what happens – you see that person in the mind’s eye.

Editor: Katherine Dollison Have you ever been up at night thinking about why the world hates women so much? Yes? Same. Especially a menstruating woman.

Thankfully, I have never been a nightmare kind of...

Editor: Ashley Teil Recently, I did some research to help a nonprofit organization obtain funds. After speaking with the founder/director, I was impressed with her goals. She serves families and youths caught up in the judicial system and provides advocacy for people who face injustice at every turn. Her work relies on the goodwill of donors and grants.

Editor: Anita Newkirk Hackney Television is an escape from Covid-19, de-maskers and the chaotic presence in the Oval Office. So, why not watch some TV shows and rekindle with the visual opulence on the screen? TV shows are becoming more and more liberal with their showings.
