Elizabeth, I loved this post, as a parent, as an activist, and as a fraidy cat. Meeting our fears and doing it anyway is indeed a muscle and one we collectively need to develop if we are to remain a democracy (it is also imperative as individuals if we want to set clear boundaries in the world). Teaching our children this is incredibly challenging and such a delicate process, one I continue developing as my son just turned 15. Also, congrats on the 'zine! I'm not in the Chicago area and wondering if there's a place I could purchase a copy? Cheers!

I appreciate so much what you are expressing and bringing forward Elizabeth. You are supporting me in continuing to grow a 'strong back, soft front' as I engage in my work as an embodied elder. I have shared your writing with some of my friends and colleagues. Keep going.
