Putting our bodies where our beliefs are. — To whoever is not listening to the sea

In her speech at the Women's March on Washington, Gloria Steinem thanked the crowd for "understanding that sometimes we must put our bodies where our beliefs are. Sometimes pressing send is not enough."

Arriving in downtown DC via the Metro around 8:30am.

Gloria Steinem at the Women's March. We were actually close enough to see and hear her — we arrived at 8:30am!

Start of the Rally...we had a great vantage point from atop a small concrete planter box outside the Air & Space museum.

In that spirit, this week we drove four hours to be part of a small demonstration at the Old Capitol in Tallahassee, FL in support of the Affordable Care Act, through which we and tens of millions of other Americans get our healthcare.

We flew to Washington DC to be part of a massive, global demonstration that was the Women's March on Washington. (We got there early and watched with amazement as things grew more and more crowded...but didn't figure out until 4 hours later that the whole Washington Mall was full of people!)

And we went no further than our kitchen table, to write to our Senators and Congresspeople to let them know that we have voices, and for small people, they are surprisingly loud!

Near the end...it was quite a bit more crowded...hard to even raise the camera to get a picture!

It was admittedly a tiring week, but it was also deeply gratifying and energizing. We look forward to more of it in the coming weeks, months and years.

We hope that, whatever you believe in, you'll invest your heart, voice and maybe even your feet, in making sure it's fostered and protected.
