I do hope we will begin again and when we stumble, which we will, I hope we will get back up and keep going. Thanks for the book title, another nook that is new to me.

I need that sign in my yard right now. I hope that as we have traveled so far down a dark, dark tunnel we are finally ready to emerge into the light. Stay safe.

I hope so. I hope that the moment we’re living through now is a reckoning for so many and that by the time we get to July 4, 2021, I will once again be proud to live in the United States.

I very much hope so, and will be doing my part to help that happen. Like Sarah, I hope I can again feel proud to live in the US at this time next year.

I’m in! and I love that “our” community is, too. also, that book is another addition to my ever-growing TBR – I have Notes of a Native Son in the “short queue” and Glaude’s biography would make a nice follow-up.

Let’s hope new beginnings are not a fanciful/bandwagon trend, but something that is deep and permanent.
