We can't predict what these kids will need to know in twenty years. But we know they'll always need to learn. Learning how to learn is the one skill that travels with them.

The Republic of Moldova is on the move.

The formal opening of the first negotiating cluster on the fundamentals is a major step forward. It brings Moldova into the next stage of its EU accession path.

Hard work, patience, and perseverance have brought the recognition by all 27 Member States that Moldova deserves.

Today gives renewed energy to sustain Moldova's reform momentum, and to deliver on the promise to Moldovans to finally join the European family.

8 walking cheat codes I know at 46 that I wish I knew at 26:

1. Japanese Interval Walking

Alternate 3 min brisk / 3 min slow × 30 min. This HIIT-style walk reduces blood pressure, stroke risk, and boosts VO₂ max while burning fat and improving heart health.

Grief is not something to fix but to be felt. I have not written a word since my Dad entered the hospital or after he died. Finally, this morning the words came. A free post on Substack:

“The Vatican has replaced Silicon Valley as ground zero for disruptive thinking. The Catholic church … is becoming a beacon of light in a very dark world…. The pope has become a reassuring – and all too rare – voice of moral clarity.” https://t.co/Y85YTArice

“I love roses, especially yellow roses. They're not cherished like red roses, but they're invariably cheerful. … Put them in a vase by themselves, and they nod and smile at everyone who passes.” —Christina Dodd

#HappyBirthday All June born! Your 2nd #BirthFlower is the Honeysuckle symbolizing devotion, love, nostalgia & purity. Its nectar is pollinated by hawkmoths & hummingbirds. Flowers open & release their strongest, intoxicating fragrance at night to attract nocturnal pollinators.

In This Is Also a Love Story, journalist @sallyhayd tells tales of love surviving in the darkest of circumstances. She says she wrote it partly for herself: “I was feeling despair at the cruelty of humans… I needed to remind myself that there’s kindness & goodness in the world.”

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas
