We are always grateful to those who take the time to read our bi-monthly e-newsletter, but never more so than this month. After a dizzying almost two months of local legislation, Congressional legislation, and Executive Orders, lots of people seem burned out. So, if you are still one of our faithful readers, or if you have joined us recently, then thank you! I would like to take a moment to address that very notion of fatigue that many people are feeling right now. If you are feeling weary of politics, of arguing, of national division, you are not alone.
