April will be filled with laughter.
April will be filled with grace.
April will be filled with clarity.
April will be filled with momentum.
April will be filled with compassion.
April will be filled with alignment.
April will be filled with warmth.

Next week, I’ll be making the trip to Clinton, NY to write, read, and nap. An hour away from Clinton is Auburn, where Harriet Tubman’s memorial site is.

As I continue to work on my prose project on pilgrimages to death sites related to suicide and mental health, I want to be sure I visit her site.
