Ill Doctrine Radio 1/1/22: Don't Delay, Send Yours in Right Away

Hey y'all! So apparently it's another "New Year"? I feel like I have some vague memory of more innocent times, when I believed that was a thing. And I must say, despite all the madness that blends these past few years into a fog, I come into this one choosing to...kinda sorta...low key...believe it again. 

I'm choosing to believe that even if it is just an arbitrary marker of this thing we call "time," and the time we are in seems so daft and daunting, we can still claim this turn around the sun as a chance to reflect...to reconnect with what matters to us..refocus on the work we need to do...and recommit to seeking out that work, joy and community together. I mean, I dunno. It's worth a shot, right? 

And this week we're setting the table with some soulful music for another new year, another 365 todays that will all be in need of love. Hope you and yours are maintaining and I'll see you soon <3
