@achzkris Can confirm.

@KhristiLauren You are radiant!

@achzkris I’ve had 3 this month. I’m going to try this next time!!

"Let's put the kids to bed early tonight" sounds like a good plan until you're just spending that whole time + the normal amount of time trying to get the kids to go to bed.

my boss is going to pick her daughter up from school and making her take a nap and can my mom come get me from work please?

The algorithm knows I'm furniture shopping.

@achzkris @_CassandraLoren I’m not a snacky person, but if I’m handed these I will be eating the entire bag.

That brokenness you feel? It, too, is love.

Never apologize for caring enough that it leaves you aching, yearning for a better world than this.

@carolinejsumlin No. Your soul won’t be better for it. So much teen drug use and sex. Like, that’s the story. I turned off the first episode and I’m not “prudish” about those things.

Makeup removal is a daily lament.

[Mandi Holmes @MandiHolmes]

@achzkris Your soft, open, generous heart is a beautiful gift to the world. Not easy. Not always welcomed. But we are better because of it. I am better because of it.

@erinhmoon I feel this in my bones. That Rebecca St. James cassette tape was so well loved.

I see this modeled so beautifully by my husband. I'm not that good at it. I like being right.

@CoreyHolmes, he's the real deal. He values relationship over being right. He values healing and well-being over his own way. Empathy over pride. And he's really cute too.

[Mandi Holmes @MandiHolmes]

You know what's really difficult?

Taking responsibility for your mistakes, apologizing, making it right, and correcting the behavior moving forward.

A thing you did, a thing you let happen, or a wrong belief you've held.

But that's growth. Doubling down is death.

Dear Scientists, where are we at on this? And teleportation? Could we get an update? Thanks.

I hate that I can’t do everything in one day. Like, why hasn’t endless time become a thing yet? It’s 2021.
