What does this newsletter need?
THOUGHT
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history.”
THE GOOD WORD
📖 Amity (noun) — AM-ih-tee
❤️ Friendly, peaceable relations between people or groups.
💡 Why it's good: The amity between neighbors is what turns a street into a community.
