It’s finally here. Election Day 2024.
And the stakes seem absolutely monumental. Not just for the United States, but for the whole world.
The best advice I’ve seen is from my former UU minister, the Reverend Fred Small. He says, “If you’re feeling anxious (or worse) about the presidential election, I recommend deep breaths, meditation, and this video released last night by the Harris campaign.”
He was right. The video makes me feel better. We’ve got some extremely competent and professional women— like Jen O’Malley Dillon and Dana Remus—running the Harris Campaign. They know what they’re doing.
Breathe.

Yes, carry-on-a-la! Perfect.

I really admire all you did Mary, and all you will continue to do and be because you can’t help it.
