I am considering a video about the Nashville school shooting because of a line I have read a couple times: "The Covenant School was then singled out for an attack while a second – undisclosed – location was apparently ruled out because it had a higher level of security," the Police Chief said. Perhaps because it is "undisclosed" or perhaps because it doesn't fit the calls for gun control, I've yet to see exploration of what kind of security this second location had. It would seem that if that was a strong deterrent, it might behoove a journalist to ask why? What else do you think is missing from the coverage?
We drove to a new town in Maine so I used my travel tip for healthy food: look up where you can buy raw milk. It worked again! And this time with a farm tour as added bonus.
Big news: Lynn graduates from college on Sunday! So we are in New England for the ceremony. I did a quick search for raw milk yesterday while traveling to Maine, called the store when we landed to confirm, and BOOM, the rest is nutrient dense history.
When I was in TV news, my mornings were a race against the clock. Wake up, slam a cup of coffee, walk the dog, shower, speed to the editorial meeting (for which I was always late). Now, it’s easy to carry that same intense spirit & overlook the beauty of a morning farm chore routine, taking for granted the invaluable time with my kids, the warm sun, the fresh air, the silly animals. I try to remind myself as often as possible to walk slower, breathe deeper, and smile more. Honestly it’s not a chore routine. It’s a blessing. It’s really a beautiful day, everyday.
