“When the earth is cracking behind your feet, and you feel the whole world is going to swallow you up, you put one foot in front of the other and go forward.”
If you know a federal employee, urge them to hold fast and stay in government. If/when party loyalists are given charge of non-partisan agencies, we will need the heart that federal employees bring to their jobs to help preserve the republic.
Yes Bess, your grandmother came from that time, where they had to. And look at the life we've had because of people like her and my grandparents, most anyone's. So yes she is so right, we have to go forward. Thank you for being you, inspiring, funny, kind and brilliant. xxx
Reading your words has brought me so much comfort in advance of this election and here they are again after. Thank you for some warmth in the midst of the fear.
Thank you for this. I remember these words from your book. Grandma Bobbie was so wise. On the way to school this morning, my 13 yr old said “everyone is posting about how we are going to lose our rights, which rights will be taken away?” I don’t know baby girl, but let’s put one foot in front of the other and not just hand over our right to hope. 🕯️
I listened to your book on walks with my dog in July 2023 and still think of those words when I walk her now. I repeat them to her when she freezes (she is terrified of all other dogs) and urge her to keep moving forward. It works for her. It will work for me.
May our grandmothers be with us now.

You & your children live in a blue state, as do I and mine (CA, CO, MN).
I hope that's enough to protect you, and them, and us, at least for now, from a defective electorate and contaminated government.
Thank you. I need an election funeral. I will so miss having Kamala's energy and politics in my life.
It's the only way. Today we grieve. Tomorrow, we get up and keep going.
Keep us laughing through our tears, Bess.

Thank you, this is helpful.
Yes, and remember to breathe with every step.
Thank you. I'm going to take a deep breath and listen to your grandma.
Keep those words coming, Bess Kalb.
