Into the Home Stretch
Dear Friends:
Things continue to blur. I began this Ripple issue while sitting yet again at MSP—this time it was to fly to San Francisco, where I presented Gray Area Thinking® to a law firm and its clients. The week before, I conducted four different trainings for four different clients, including to a Wisconsin PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) chapter where we made a hybrid model (some folks live in a room, others online on Zoom) work marvelously!
On top of that, I’ve door-knocked every weekend since the second week of September. There also was a candidate forum two-plus weeks ago where all twelve candidates for the four District 112 school board seats were called upon to speak in 90 second word bursts. (Hint, while I’m pretty good in 90-minute trainings/talks, I’m absolutely worthless with just 90 seconds—I can barely say my name in that time…) But, as some have shared, I was a bit “strident” about how our school board should never allow for banning books. Yep, that is me.
All of this has no doubt kept my brain and spirit engaged. I continue to be amazed by the number of people (who were strangers but no more) who’ve come forward to support me—it's an incredible feeling when someone relates that they’ve voted for me in early voting.
Still, we're now in the home stretch and I can’t wait for November 8th. I’ll let you know how it all turns out in the November issue of The Ripple. Please wish me luck; as the dark horse candidate, I certainly need it!
Because of how I’m stretched, you’re getting a greatly abbreviated newsletter. Thanks for understanding about this and for sure, we’ll go back to the regular format next month!
Remember, I care about you.
