Because DC is locked down, I imagine few people were able to participate downtown, which some of my friends have done in the past. A lot of nonprofits and private citizens have probably suffered for it this year, especially this year. I spent the in service to writing my latest book about creating DIY retreats. In turn the book will\u2014I hope\u2014serve its readers by providing tips for getting self-care through personal retreating.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I set a pot of freshly made soup to cool on a trivet on the glass top of my table on the porch. When I returned to check it, a crack had formed part way across the table top. There was already a circular crack from when Hubby set a hot pan on the glass, no trivet, a few years ago. Now the crack was bigger. I set a second pot of soup on a trivet and came back later to find the crack had grown to the entire extent of the table.<\/p>\n<p>No, I hadn\u2019t put two and two together, the crack and the heat of the pan, because for several years I\u2019ve been setting hot pots on a trivet on this table. I guess it reached a breaking point, like life as we\u2019ve known it, cracking individuals, communities, and government structures. How do you fix a fractured world? MLK tried. We\u2019re still trying.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-18c-rotated.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2186\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-18c-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-18c-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-18c-rotated.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-18a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2184\" src=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-18a-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-18a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lunarivervoices.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/1-18a.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Martin Luther King Day, a day of service.
