The Introverted Upstander

Welcome to The Introverted Upstander, my name is Sasha. I am an American mom of three great kids who are in high school and college, married to the same wonderful guy since 2004. I like audio books, and walking the dog and playing sand volleyball with my husband and our friends. I am a planner, in fact, I often enjoy researching and booking vacations as much as I enjoy going on them. I love doing 1000-piece puzzles and spending time with friends, preferably just 2 or 3 at a time. I am also deeply, deeply concerned about what is happening in our country right now. But I have struggled with finding my own voice in an environment that always seems dominated by the loudest and the most extreme. How can I possibly implement action in a way that has any chance of helping, when I am far more comfortable reading a great book with a kitty snuggled on my lap? Is there a way for me to help without fundamentally changing who I am? T
