As I look back on the past year, I’m struck by all that we, as a community, have been through together. And, while it’s undeniable that we continue to be challenged by the frustration and fatigue of today’s world, we’ve also been talking about the thread of promise and hope that runs through our work. On a recent Zoom call, one of my colleagues said simply, “I choose hope.” There was a pause, and then, everyone on the call nodded. We needed that reminder.
