I echo Jennifer's comment, below. I am grateful I found you, Heather. We have a book group called the Woolf Pack that discusses one of your lectures each week. I so wish our school children could be taught "real" history. It would change our world in one generation.

A good friend shared your site with me, and in doing so, may well have saved my sanity this last year. Thank you for working so hard to bring a thoughtful perspective to what’s going on with this country and for basing your insights on sourced material. Without fail, your thoughts are my first news of each day. So often, what comes after is tempered by your calm, factual approach. I am in your debt. Thank you so much.

Did anyone else see the Warnock-Loeffler “debate” last night? She was emotionless, robotic and rehearsed to death. She used “radical liberal” 10 times, even when it was off the topic: “what is your position on expanding the Supreme Court? Radical liberal Warnock ...” trump himself must have coached her.

If you are writing the clearest, truest words you can find and doing the best you can to understand and communicate, this will shine on paper like its own little lighthouse. Lighthouses dont go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.

Thank you for your shining light 🌟

Thank you, Heather. One word seems to float through so many comments and replies to you, and that is SANITY. You do what you do so well and we need it so much that it helps us keep our sanity. Beautiful photo. The glimmer of light and our flag comfortably looking over a beautiful Winter scene. Good night.

Relieved you are seeing us tomorrow. I just know you aren't resting though! To fellow intrepid HCR commenters, yesterday I discovered our next door neighbor is flying the American flag upside down and has added a "trump 2020" flag under that with a military service flag under that. We have lots of space in between houses here and I sure do appreciate that! We live near Valley Forge. Will keep you posted should mayhem ensue.

Sleep, perchance to dream. Thank you, Heather, for helping us all to sleep better and dream big.

Rest well, friend. "Rest and laughter are the most spiritual and subversive acts of all. Laugh, rest slow down." (Anne Lamott).

The photo is a beautiful accompaniment to your brief statement. The glimpse of hope in the partial lighthouse. Needed that this morning. Thank you.

What a beautiful photo. And it would make a very difficult jigsaw puzzle.
