I was told yesterday by my #1 advisor (aka my husband) that every day can't be an "on" day. I needed that reminder. So I went outside and took a walk. Trying to remember to give myself grace everyday. So today, I will just do my best. No conditions. The end. #phdlife

I am so proud that my daughter has been granted the opportunity to again cover the Harris-Walz campaign representing her university publication the @campusecho. Be sure to follow her @ronnibutts as she continues to report on political news in the Durham,NC area.

Vice President Kamala Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, and sister, Maya Harris, encourage North Carolinians to vote at NC State University's Howling Cow Dairy after speaking at nearby venue to Harris supporters. Both will continue their campaign throughout the Triangle today.
