Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
It was so good to see everyone today 💓
I was truly a hot mess before I was ready to hear the message being sent through Zubin and Angelo. Now I paint pretty pictures and play in the garden! Loving it! Here’s my most recent art. Sending love to all!!
It's New Term season all over isn't it and that's why I'm not joining the Supporters Zoom now - I'm fathoming out a large timetable and a map with my son. It's also the root of the only news I might have for you ...this week, as all the High Schools started I found myself looking at their crests and mottos and I thought of my old High Schools Motto - Absque Labore Nihil - Nothing achieved without effort. All my life I thought it was saying you had to work hard, to strive, to seek. But now I look again at that old Eagle sitting on his crest - Nothing achieved without effort - The whole unspeakable no thing of eternal everything achieved effortlessly. No seeking, no searching, absque labore. He was right wasn't he! We just didn't understand what he meant.
