I was inspired to write this after listening to the Brian Lehrer show on WNYC, where he invited listeners to write a one minute “editorial” to read aloud on the air.

A Time of Uncertainty
Today is a Lunar Eclipse, and the energy of this eclipse is a doozy! It’s a time to release and let go of what is holding us back, a time to embrace our potential.
