Blackout Tuesday

I encountered this quote this week reading Small Great Things.

I shared earlier this week that my plan was to share a classic beach from our 2016 quest on Mondays, a nature walk on Walking Wednesday and a new lesser known beach on Fridays. Then as protests continued over the death of George Floyd, I felt the need to step back and give space for other voices to be heard this week. I am growing my knowledge and actions over these issues and am keeping a growing list of resources I have come across for me to go through. Feel free to reach out and suggest other resources.
