Many are running for office in Nevada. The seat that only fits “one person” — the person YOU vote for.

These new times call for us to be courageous. Sometimes we confuse the pursuit of courage with sabotaging our peace; embracing the idea that we can reduce frustration by going along with the status quo and “staying in our lane.” But a silent voice can also perpetuate confusion — by giving the green light to bad behavior and injustice. Courage lies deep […]
