As I’m approaching the end of a recent and, frankly, totally disorganized trip, a dear friend of mine sent me an unrelated text: “Goodness still exists in this crazy world.” I love this statement, especially coming from someone who has faced nearly a decade of challenges and still manages to be a source of joy,…
