Looking for Authenticity | April 2023
It's been a very quiet month in the OLW department. Ali Edward's prompt for the month was to look for our word to show up in our days... and so I practiced patience and tried to pay attention.... sigh. At times the silence was jarring and after a week of waiting with...
