Right page: 2020 Labor Day Commitment is the subject of the day today. I've agreed to write a short introduction for email blast for 29 Pieces on the commitment lesson. The first lesson we did, inspired by Jeremy Gilley, and commitment to naming September 21 as the International Day of Peace, and my work with Jeremy on the book - Peace on Day - The lesson was born, hatched.
