Kelsie took this photo in early December while we were on a family vacation, before winter began in earnest.
Hello, Friends!
We’re excited about a new project Kelsie is launching over on Substack, where she plans to write on a monthly basis. She would be excited and honored if our blog readers, and in particular the women in our audience, would visit the link below and click Subscribe.
There you’ll find a little more detail about her writing plans. Meanwhile, here is an excerpt from her family update:
A Long Winter in Ukraine
…Missiles and drones launched by russia wreaked havoc on electricity substations, leaving thousands of people without electricity, heating, or hot water for days at a time.
Kyiv declared an energy crisis and asked as many people as could to leave. The capital, and many other eastern and southern regions, are experiencing outages to date, and many homes are still without heat.
Here in western Ukraine, our family endured a few tense moments and many, many hours without electricity.
Late on January 8th, the sirens went off, and we began making our way to the hall for shelter. No sooner had we gathered the kids together than we started hearing explosions…
Thank you for reading and for caring,
The Steeles
