This morning I got to reconnect with my long-time friend Beth Howard of The World Needs More Pie and My new friend Rachel Swan of Pie & Mighty. They are passing out donated pies at 36th and Chicago because “Pie makes people happy. Pie symbolizes peace and comfort. Pie heals grief. We’re going to give away free pie to show people we care. To bring comfort and joy.” Beth has been using pie to heal grief and build connections across the country for years. Rachel’s shop has been working out of a church basement for 4 years and just opened their storefront two blocks north of where George Floyd was killed Monday night on Pie Day, 3.14. Then COVID happened. Rachel offered a home base. Beth coordinated more than 50 donated pies. Together they “decided to show up.” There is no one way to grieve. There is no one way to heal. All hands on deck. The question we all need to ask is “How do I make this better?” This is on all of us. #georgefloyd #weavingcommunity #turnup #whatsmyrole #apeaceofmymind #justice
