[Thespiritexpress] "Election Jitters"

[Jan Conlon]

This is absolutely beautiful, Ron, and such a gift during these days.
Thank you, as always, for offering your heart, insights and love to this
community.

I was wondering if you and Toni were available any of these days for
brunch?  Nov 25, Dec 4, Dec 5.  If not, we'll figure out something else!

In peace, friendship and tenderness.   Jan  💗💖💕🌊💜🙏🌈💞💙
