The support for Amina and her family has been wonderful. We are so grateful. Beloved Askin has been helping speak to her landlord and figure out if there’s a way the family can stay in their home. I will keep you all posted.
I can’t possibly think what else I could possibly say today, given the current state of affairs in Ukraine. Like all of you, I’m sure, I feel hopeless and despondent.
My teacher Derek always says that when you feel that way, go towards the love. So I’m sharing some small bits of that with you today.

In case of profiterol emergency. (Who hasn’t had one of those?)
You’re welcome.
First fortune in Turkiye.
Nat, that is the most beautiful portrait of the two of you. It should be a painting!!
Love, Carol
