To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
Every April 15, MLB honors the life and legacy of one of the most important players in the history of professional sports, Jackie Robinson.
On April 15, 1947, Robinson broke the color barrier when debuting with the then-Brooklyn Dodgers. Prior to his monumental breakthrough, America’s pastime had been segregated. While Robinson had a hall-of-fame playing career in his own right, what he meant for sports and Americana in general can never be fully appreciated. MLB has always made it a point to honor him.
His No. 42 jersey is retired by every team in baseball. Every April 15, we remember his sacrifices.

I decided to do a birthday fund raiser this year, to help out our Kirkland chapter. I wanted to jump on it and let you all know before you sent me any gifts. 📷 Instead, please donate to the Kirkland Sea Hawkers. 📷📷

“Easter means hope prevails over despair…
Easter says to us that despite everything to the contrary,
his will for us will prevail,
love will prevail over hate,
justice over injustice and oppression,
peace over exploitation and bitterness.”

Your diet is not only what you eat.
It's what you watch, what you listen to, what you read,
the people you hang around.
Be mindful of the things you put into your body,
emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

"If you give us the chance, we can perform.
After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did.
She just did it backwards and in high heels."

"A woman is human.
She is not better, wiser, stronger, more intelligent, more creative, or more responsible than a man.
Likewise, she is never less."
