Last but not least, some inspiration from my mom, who hosted a sign making party with friends this past weekend. I remember finding my mom’s old Vietnam War-era protest signs in a closet in my grandparents’ house when I was a kid. As I recall, one said “Let the Flower Children Grow!” and the other was beautifully executed peace sign made from the word ‘peace’ written out a million times in different colors. She, her friends and her generation continue to be my conscience and my inspiration. For her whole life she has ‘walked the walk’ of peace, love, and #CareNotChaos. I’m pretty excited to be going to San Diego to march with her this weekend.
