SHOCK. RAGE. GRIEF. FEAR. ANXIETY CONFUSION. BETRAYAL. SADNESS. I've been struggling on what to write since I watched the news video about the murder and death of George Floyd.    I won't pretend to fully comprehend or be the source of truth on what happened and the events that transpired since. As I wrote on Instagram: My heart is overflowing with emotions. I do not know how to process except to cry, be angry, pray, offer our deepest sympathies -- to LISTEN and LEARN from others on what we can do to help and support.
