Boom. I have started. Just like that. Thanks to my friend Lisa for forwarding Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper this morning. In it Maria writes what many of us have been asking ourselves, “How do we turn despair into action?” She reminds us that, “We can’t go quiet. We can’t bow out. We can’t believe that we have nothing to add… - To Our Mighty Millennials
