We call this ‘h.a.s. magic.’ We hope you are so inspired by this grace-filled story that you go home and host a dinner where “the others” (the immigrant, the refugee, the Dreamer, the LGBTQ, the transgender) in your community are invited to the table. Together, may we inspire greater empathy, compassion, h.a.s. magic in our world! Here’s to #hasmagicliving and #artinspiringaction
