Starting a class in End of Life Care (death doula) through Iliff School of Theology tomorrow. I feel it is an important subject we all will need at some point.

Climate change isn’t a conspiracy, rather it’s a side effect of our vastly commercial lifestyles and the companies that support our choices. In which case, if you call it a conspiracy, we are all co-conspirators…
