99.9% of the time I keep things light and easy here on the blog. Not because I don’t want to discuss the serious subjects, but because these types of discussions are not what this blog space is about.

But in response to the global refugee crisis, I have been profoundly affected by this article. And this article. And so many others. Be warned, they’re intense. I feel like I can’t breathe when I read them. And I’ve been reading them over and over. And sobbing. I don’t know. I know I’ll go back to posting about pretty stuff. But this morning I feel overcome to express my deep feelings of outrage and helplessness. Definitely holding my family tighter this weekend.
