New for You!  Pallinews is launching a new feature, In Practice: Member Stories & Insights. We will be contacting members at random, asking for one anecdote or piece of advice to share with readers. It can be written or on video in your language of choice. We're not asking for an essay! Something short, even a few sentences, is ideal. If you can't wait to tell your anecdote or advice, don't wait for us to contact you! Simply send it along.
