== Love Notes ==
Hey lovelies. Phew, managed two catch ups in one night, now I just need to get caught up on the last of March and early April! It's gonna happen!
As I was getting ready to post this, "This Women's Work" started playing, and hand to goodness it came up randomly on spotify (after I'd chosen the Love Notes art already). I thought it was a good sign to send out a gentle reminder that we all still have a little life in us yet.
Things are tough right now. Every day we're fighting, every day we're pushing back, and it's exhausting. Please take a break. Please handle today and no matter what happens, even if you stay on that break, come back to this world tomorrow. You have so much life left in you, and you have so much love and kindness to give to this world, and this world to give to you.
You deserve soft times, and love, and we're gonna have to fight for them for a while, but I hope you know you deserve them, and they will happen one day. We just have to hold onto hope.
If I was going to be stuck in the Gravy Basket with anyone, I'm glad it's all of you. Love you Crew.
