My favorite tool for when life gets wonky

Growing up, I celebrated 4th of July with a large family gathering at my aunt’s house. I’d work with my cousins to create a giant whirlpool in the pool, play badminton with my mom, eat meme’s homemade clam cakes and chowder, and await the evening firework display (put on by my uncle and his collection of illegally smuggled explosives). ????

I know this year, 4th of July will be different for many of us here in the States. With so many physical doors closed these past several months I have been realizing just how much I miss the various communities in my life. Not only am I missing the idea of 4th of July gatherings, but I’m also missing the amazing community at the Unity Arts Ministry studio; friends and home-school moms.
