I love Joan's work. I'm so heartbroken. This has been a horrid year for the writing community. So many vital voices gone forever.

Happy Thanksgiving, world.

[Jenny Van Marter, MFA @GildedWord]

On this Thanksgiving in a complicated and chaotic world, I am thankful for much. I am thankful for my family, who is my bulwark in stormy seas. I am thankful for my extended family of friends--my comfort and warmth, laughter and hope. (1/2)

[Jenny Van Marter, MFA @GildedWord]

Finally, I am thankful for the world of possibilities ahead, full of healing and renewal. I pray for peace and growth in the months to come. May your Thanksgivings be a shelter to you all, and may you feel the love I have for you all across the miles that keep us apart. (2/2)

Money is so much less precious than human life. How is that so hard to understand?
