The League of Women Voters Minnesota is so grateful to the excellent tribute shared by the Editorial Board of the Star Tribune. Our members are vital to our democracy, and we appreciate the great work our LWV teams continue to do to educate and engage our voters, even during local elections. Take a minute to read this Thank You to YOU - as our members and supporters! 

This month I want each of us to create our own content by trying a couple of thought experiments.

It will be easiest to do these when you have some quiet moments. Some may want paper and pencil, but they are not required. Don’t judge yourself, just observe carefully. Try not to anticipate or predict; just observe.

Sit quietly. Close your eyes, if that helps you to focus.
