    Yes, everybody’s on edge, but when tensions escalated over a minor incident at the supermarket, it provided a hard-learned lesson in what it takes to stay sane and kind in these kind of insane times.

    Telling us that real-life story is Let Grow’s own Irshad Manji, author, professor and now our Director of Courage, Curiosity and Character. Read the tale by clicking here.

    I have to say — it gave me a flash of insight into how to deal with defensiveness. Mine, principally.
