Hanging in and Holding On

And what this has to do with scent and death.

I sit and write this to you today not knowing exactly what to say. With only days until the Presidential election here in the U.S., my mind is racing and my anxiety is in overdrive. Whether you live in the U.S. or not, this election will affect us all. 

I don’t mean to project these feelings onto you. My sincere apologies. I’ve never felt the weight of the world as deeply as I do now. What will my young adult sons witness and what kind of future can we women expect? There’s much to fear, but I live in hope.

Which got me thinking about death. Death? Not exactly an uplifting subject, I know. But please hear me out.
