** Not the Future We Thought
------------------------------------------------------------
December 8, 2025
The future for me used to feel pretty simple: to live in a house with my husband and child. Once that dream ended, as a single mom I thought I would move alone to the woods after my son left home, maybe build my own cabin like I always dreamed.
Now I am picturing a different future: land, but not land I live on alone. Land with enough room to not only have a home for myself but also a place for my son and his family, if he chooses to have one. And land with room for our friends. Now when I think of the future, I think of community and how I might do my part to make it.
In this installment of Justice This Week we are planning for a changed future—a future that we are not willing to give up on, even though it may look radically different than we expected. From lessons learned from the ongoing pandemic to long-term disability care, what are our ways forward?
To have the future we want, we may have to build it—and build it with open doors.
