Let’s focus on happy news today, shall we?  I am sending all the wonderful Americans I have met over the years lots of love, and any woman out there who feels how I feel today, well, I’m sending you a bunch extra. When times are uncertain and people are scared, the answer is not to point fingers and place blame, but to support and care for each other and for ourselves. We will get through this.  Just keep sewing 🙂
