Happy Tuesday, gorgeous. Things are calming down in Baltimore now that the indictments were announced and the curfew has been lifted, but there’s still aย lot of work to do for our city. One of the best things this week was when Lynn from Missouri (not far from the Ferguson events) e-mailed me that she found a Baltimore Oriole’s nest in her backyard. The fact that it was a Baltimore Oriole (who apparently makes a very unique nest– you learn something new every day!) combined with the sparkly ribbon weaved into its home made her think of me, and I’m so glad she sent it over.
I’m working on a project, and I could really use your help. Please click through to leave something positive in the comments — and share with your friends!
