The World Matters

When I started this blog, we were mostly in lockdown, due to CO-VID19, in various places throughout the world. People were struggling and I thought it would be great to share some activities that can help keep people positive and distracted from the difficulties of staying at home. This was meant to promote safety for our country by encouraging people to stay at home and do exciting things.

With the turn of events in recent weeks, I have morally questioned the original goal of this blog. I am providing a distraction from the bigger issues that are around us. Whether you participate or not, this has weighed heavily on me and I feel it causes myself and my worldview to be questioned.

I am shutting down this blog. I want it to be temporary, but with the status of our country and the world I have little hope for a resurrection. 

This was an escape from the pain and anger of what has been happening, but it is no longer something I see as having relevance or value when our nation is at war, fighting for the lives of black people and demanding that our country make the necessary changes for equality and respect for the lives of people of color. 

Thank you for your dedication during these few weeks. I hope to continue this someday when it is needed.
