Thanks for this Heidi. I enjoyed learning about your grandparents- what an amazing story about the cake. And I really appreciate your thoughts about introverts and resistance. I also cannot tolerate crowds and now with two preschoolers, at least one with special needs, I have little capacity for public protest but am doing my best to tend to my bit of the world. Thanks for sharing g and helping us introverts feel seen and encouraged in our part.
