Uncertain times often lead us to search for answers, and more often, for reminders of who we are, what we believe, and what anchors us when the world feels unrecognizable.

After a day of moving between errands, responsibilities, and people, she finally sat down. As a people’s person, a mover and shaker, Lucia is always in motion, always showing up for someone or something. But when we found a quiet
