Last updated on: June 17, 2020 at 12:00 pm By Lisa Wagoner

It used to be the liminal time between school ending and summer vacation, it's been a time of flaring tempers and violence (Pulse nightclub, The Charleston 9, and more), and in this year, a time of unrelenting bad news (weather, toxic White House occupant and more).

This is not the time to feel helpless. The news is relentless, and social media keeps us distracted and off-kilter. Now is not the time to falter. As William Shakespeare wrote in Love's Labour's Lost: "Muster your wits; stand in your own defence;... " Yes, the news is overwhelming, scary and relentless.
