This Christmas, I have just one wish for you: Take a moment to really see the older people in your life. Let them know they’re loved, valued, and never invisible. Share a smile with an elder you don’t know. Offer a warm holiday greeting. Small gestures carry enormous power. Love,
 Lynda 🎄✨

"It is urgent and important to reject nativism and ethnonationalism. It is right and proper, as we celebrate Thanksgiving, to be thankful that we live in an exceptional nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." www.thebulwark.com/p/amateur-ho...
