I don’t understand rejoicing in the tear-gassing of human beings fleeing poverty and persecution (or of any human beings). Absolutely abhorrent actions. We have too much intellectual and spiritual capacity to not seek humane, just solutions. It is evil to be unwilling to try.

Thank you, Veterans. Though I don’t always agree with the policies that propel you into harm’s way, I always appreciate your service & sacrifice.

Did y’all get it done yet? If you can vote, please, PLEASE do it. This must be one of the, if not *THE,* most important midterm elections in American history.

Sage advice to employ as we flow down the river of life. It also applies to your *V*O*T*E*.⠀

As we prepare to go to the poles on Tuesday, November 6, please consider the needs of those whose lot in life is different from yours. Their lives just might depend on it...& you. #Vote

Thank you, President Mandela, for your leadership & #wisdom. In this moment, I needed to be reminded that I always have a #choice.

What’s your #story this #Halloween? Something sweet, funny, scary, offbeat? & tomorrow? We tell stories about who we are daily & believe them, true or not. #Choose your story w/ care. Tell stories that align w/ the life you want. & remember, it’s in your power to write a new one.

I once worked w/ a project manager who’s mantra was, “Silence implies agreement.” I often wish we ALL had such a mantra implanted in our subconscious. When fear & ignorance rein, what might we raise our voices to say? Who might we support & protect? Or would we choose #silence?

Feed your beautiful soul.
Take (make!) time to be happy.
Restore your spirit. Feel the love.
Then spread that love around.
Like glitter. 💫

When the world seems loveless
Close your eyes
Quiet your mind
Take a few slow, deep breaths
Pause.
And in the stillness
Remember:
You are love and
So long as breath flows
Love lives on.
Then go into the world
And be love.

In our capitalist-consumerist buy-get-have society, we place more value on gratitude “for what we take” than “for what we give”. But our souls deeply crave giving & service...and we’d be much better off in many ways if we reprioritized. What do you think? #ThankfulThursday

So often, #tears are a sign of great #strength. Of strength that’s been way over extended for far too long. Of an #amazing #warrior who just needs to let it all out. #Honor those tears & the warrior who sheds them. They’ll be back on the #battlefield again soon. #WednesdayWisdom

Have a dream or a goal? Maybe you’re not progressing as fast as you’d like to? It’s OK. Some things come together quickly & others, not so much. Every dream ever realized took soul-level dedication & sweat. Keep shooting & you’ll be a big shot someday. 🏀 #TransformationTuesday

This Monday, #TakeaChance. Do something to stretch your #abilities & #challenge you to #grow. Will it feel #vulnerable? Heck, ya! Might you fall? Of course! But the alternative is safety & routine which isn’t where #growth happens or #dreams come true.🌀#MondayMotivation #Quotes
