Wren and I got a special treat yesterday when I had to leave my car at the shop for a couple hours. A friend picked us up and took us to The Velvet Lounge, a private venue hiding in a Victorian house in town, where she entertained us with original live music and treated us like princesses.
I sat in a comfy chair at a little table with a cold beverage and a plate of snacks. Wren sat in the chair next to me for awhile, and seemed to really enjoy the show. After awhile she crawled into my lap for a hug and curled up. In the warm, inviting ambience we enjoyed a deep and rejuvenating rest.
I’m energized and grateful for having participated in our local Indivisible meeting online this afternoon. Our usual one-hour meeting lasted forty minutes longer, so filled with enthusiasm and intention were we. Our numbers doubled with new members since we reconvened a month ago. If you’re looking for a way to get involved in saving our democracy, check out some of these links that we compiled. Each day, engage, rest, repeat: and amplify the good work by getting others involved. We’re in this together!

Great post and suggestions, thank you! How wonderful that you and Wren were treated by a creative and kind friend to entertainment, snacks and a cold beverage! So fun! We still need fun 🤩
Thank you for the information.
Hillery! Great links to networking information. I’m sharing some on FB at Delta County for Bernie Sander’ Resistance. Bernie, 83, going out road tripping and trying to raise the alarm. He makes me (68) tired watching him.
