@cjjones093 @SKYAirline_CL Awful experience with @SKYAirline_CL as we’re trying to finalize our trip to South America. Would avoid at all costs in the future ❌

As you rest and get ready for the new year, I highly recommend watching the #LiveToLead series on Netflix. Inspiring and impactful stories 🌟

Live to Lead is a great watch as we head into a new year.

CORE MESSAGES:

• Confidence is a deciding factor. Believe in yourself.

• When you decide you want something, go after it with everything you have.

• If you see a problem in the world, fix it.

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.

It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.

People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

@MattressFirm How long is “soon?” It’s been over 5 hours…

[Bridget A. McFarland, Ph.D. @bridget_mcfar]

The quality of customer service and communication that I’ve gotten from @MattressFirm is absolute garbage. Super unimpressed, especially for the amount of $ spent. 🛏

Grateful for colleagues who know how hard you’re working & I have SO much respect for those who are multilingual. Meetings in your non-native language require a whole different level of concentration 🧠
