Often times the founder works for 20+ years building a brand to the point where they can have a successful buy out. They raise money to build their passion project but it costs more and more and takes a long long time. The buy out is the hard earned pay day. I don’t begrudge the sale..I’d like a louder announcement. It’s a constant ecosystem of beautiful brands we can trust …until we can’t. And then the new ones are born. It’s the entrepreneurs path.

Roughly 54% of U.S. adults read below the 6th grade reading level. It’s highly unlikely you’ll get the deep introspection you seek.

In conversation with a dear friend of mine who gets fired up on all the things, I gently suggested that it’s being done to her on purpose…it took a moment for her to fathom that. We were talking on FaceTime and I actually saw her have an aha moment in real time.
Once you see it, it’s all you see. But everyone needs to see it themselves. Until then.. we are here.
Thank you for the thoughtful prayers. The stated strategy has been to let the fire burn due to the rough location. They predict it will travel out of the canyon up to the ridge to where the fire line is. We saw a lot of smoke today in the distance with wind shifts…but things seem fairly normal in town. And the air quality has been good.
They say the next three days of high winds will be challenging …they expect after the weekend to begin to contain things. 🙏🏻
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.
