White rabbit, white rabbit, white rabbit! Does anyone else say that on the first day of each month for good luck … or just me? These days, I’m all for anything that will bring good luck my way.

Last week we witnessed not only the storming of the U.S. Capitol but a stark reminder that our justice system is imperfect.
2021 is here in all its glory, bringing with it at least a symbolic fresh start for all of us.
