Promises of Spring
Photo Credit: Lisa Mauro, 2020 All Rights Reserved

It seems strange to think that I only took this photo a week ago. Since then, we’ve had a “traditional Colorado Spring”; which is to say we’ve had at least two more rounds of snow with wild temperature swings. It …

The Gift of Time

By Li Posted on 03/28/2020 Posted in blog, community, writing

A few weeks ago, when it became apparent that I’d be self-isolating, self-quarantining, social distancing or whatever it’s being called in this particular news cycle, I realized that maybe the struggles of the previous year had been a training ground. …
