Good morning my DU family,

Another week has passed, a week unlike any other for some people, while for others, it may well have been ho hum.

It's really remarkable how our most memorable moments tend to be externally driven, things beyond our control, shaping our state of mind and being for extended periods of time.

It's so nice when events such as ours this last week don't destroy our lives beyond the great loss that we're going through, that we were able to withstand the financial costs, allowing us to focus on all the right things.

To be able to share such events with you solely for the emotional support needed has been such an incredible time as we've all been free to just be in our present and experience it fully, without the anxiety of its cost.

For me, that's a big change from these last few years, a change that has been so relieving to experience.

Please give us a day filled with opportunities to experience our moments fully, without the burdens of external factors like cost analysis or societal pressures. Let us be.

Have an unencumbered day my DU family,
Love, John
