You’re a powerful inspiration to the communities heart and soul. I experience your essay’s similar to listening to Bach or Beethoven, it lifts my senses towards divine wisdom. Thank you Dr. Lovely and wishing you and your family happy joyful holidays.

Soo enjoying these posts Dr Lovely! I accidentally found you, but again, was it an accident? Much needed perspective and so appreciated. Happy holiday season-I think of it as a way to NOT let them win.

A lovely post., Stephanie. Brings joy to the heart and reminds us there are many things for which we should be thankful. We have fighting to do for sure. Kamala showed us the way to create hope in our country. We will get there with a platform on which all will agree. We can do this. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/next-we-do-good-work?r=3m1bs
