Excerpt from Linda Ellis' poem The Dash
For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash. #HappyNewYear, #InspirationalNewYear

Are you saying "please" and "thank-you" in general? U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is a class act. Let's all strive to bring civility back to air travel. #airtravelcivility

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

It’s not your imagination. Traveling has become more uncivilized!

The Facts:

❌ 400% increase in outbursts on planes since 2019
❌ 1 in 5 flight attendants report experiencing physical incidents
❌  Unruly passenger events DOUBLED since 2019 

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The Golden Age of Travel starts with all of us.

It’s time to bring back civility and manners when we travel ⬇️

To mask or not to mask. That is the question! Be courteous and wear a mask if a store's policy requires employees to mask. Remember, how would you feel if you were in their shoes? #MaskingEtiquette, #MaskWhenEmployeesMask

Left my health club recently and encountered a little girl enthusiastically waving her hand while greeting me (a complete stranger) with a warm "hello". There was a refreshing innocence to her kind gesture as I replied back with an upbeat "hello" along with a big smile.
