50% off now and noticed the 2 calendars that only had one left were a mindfulness one and Thich Nhat Hanh.

And I live in conservative town in blue state. I think people want peace and zen this year.

I am so freaked I planned to go out of country 3 weeks in Oct fearing how crazy it will be.

I have a feeling of awful dread like never before. I always knew republicans would mess up government but not like this.
