Morning friend, I hope you had a day of Thanksgiving even if your turkey wasn’t delicious or you had a little (or a lot) of drama at your gathering.

It is an important movie about a group of women thinking through the question, “How are we going to respond to the abuse, injustice, deceit, and oppression we’ve all experienced.” Many of you have also watched the documentary Shiny Happy People, which is a…
