My all-time fav Mother Teresa quote is:
“Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.”
Day after day Mother Teresa personally encountered an unyielding number of poor, sick and unwanted. Yet, she relentlessly extended bodily and figurative touch through her deep well of compassionate love, returning to God when needing to replenish her cache of goodness. At this time of global illness and isolation, let us heed her call to see and touch the lonely, suffering and unwanted all around us, by whatever means we are able.

Shout-out to Schuler Books in Okemos for small/local business Saturday!
Schuler Books has been a supporter of Coraggio books since their releases.
Schuler Books promotes Coraggio books’ spiral-binding that helps people with disabilities more easily read a book–by shelving on an end cap or cover forward–while other bookstores prefer books with a title on the binding that can be compactly shelved.

Promoting FREE Naloxone/Narcan day. Luke, the Rite Aid pharmacist, was great. Gave me my free box of 2 with no questions asked, no prescription, and showed me how to use.
As a Michigan Prescription Drug Abuse Commission member, we learned that 130 people a DAY die from opioid abuse in the U.S. This nasal spray can reverse an overdose while happening. I added link to an article with how-to-use video and a list of pharmacies providing free kit today, Sat. 9/14.
