It's taken us this long to heed the warnings. I am encouraged at what I see and yet I know that we are running out of time.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052375488090209961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192718134910479930.post-86729671569536753512020-01-14T18:16:45.443+01:002020-01-14T18:16:45.443+01:00Oh, I love you for this.
