@AnneLamottQuote @ANNELAMOTT Unfortunately, @ANNELAMOTT I was 6 during the Cuban Missile Crises. Sheltering under desks with masking tape criss-crossing windows, waiting for Atom Bombs to kills us incited no protection from any adult. Polio was ever present. Vaccine new. Fear is awful.

@MarkHamill Love must me stronger than hate.

This is not a Republican statesman speaking. Can anyone tell me why people think he remains a candidate? Perhaps there is a better person to write in? https://t.co/KOEoQMrqfJ

@newenhuyse @AnneLamottQuote @ANNELAMOTT I have as many pens as I do paper! Now, whether or not their ink is flowing….😊

[Mary Lu Strange @marylustrange]

@AnneLamottQuote @ANNELAMOTT Thank you! My late husband said he wished he had stock in the Mead Paper Corporation for all the paper I have in my office. We would be millionaires if we had.

@hmize5 @Trump_Losses @BharoseNanan Me too. I don’t want that person representing me. I’ve also been unfavorable of Biden. It’s time for a shift in power. But, when we have only those two to choose from, well, I’m definitely not voting for the T.

[Mary Lu Strange @marylustrange]

@AnneLamottQuote @ANNELAMOTT I love you @ANNELAMOTT

[Mary Lu Strange @marylustrange]

@rileyadamvoth @ShaneClaiborne Do tell. God created us all. We are all loved by our wonderful Creator no matter where we are in life. I pray for him, his family and all who love him. I will not judge another person’s mind or heart. Their choices are between themselves and God.

[Mary Lu Strange @marylustrange]

@mermhart Thank you. I needed to see this today.

COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN.
I am extremely disappointed in so many of you who think that "not being a fan" of someone means you're entitled to shit all over them.
I want to remind you of something.
Your children are watching you complain about Taylor Swift sitting at a football game, being happy, and cheering for a man she loves in what appears to be a very loving, respectful relationship.
Your Children are watching you judge a woman for literally just EXISTING and taking up space happily.
And you know what? Ms. Swift has won 324 awards? How many do you have?
She brought $5 BILLION dollars in consumer spending and boosted the U. S. economy so significantly, that leaders from other countries actually beg for her to play there?
Did you know that there are over 20 college courses about her skills as an artist, lyricist, and musician - including at places like Harvard, Stanford & UC Berkeley?
Did you know that Taylor Swift quietly donates mass amounts of money to local food banks in every city she performs in?
AND DID YOU KNOW …
That Taylor Swift was sexually assaulted by a radio DJ, and she got him fired? When he sued HER for over $3 million for defamation, she counter sued for a symbolic $1 in a court case that took 2 YEARS for her to win. And, she did that just to show women that fighting for what's right has no price tag & to never be silent in the face of oppression.
WELL IF YOU DON’T CARE BY NOW, YOU SHOULD.
Because your daughters, nieces, and your nephews are watching you run your mouth. And they are seeing the world hate a woman who does so much good, simply because she exists in their line of sight.
DO BETTER PEOPLE.
Teach your boys to respect women. Teach your girls that as women - they are ALLOWED to take up space.
Fix it. Become aware of your words. Because we all have the ability and the obligation to fight for the future of our children with simple moments. And we need to consciously choose to be better for them.

In 2005, a nursing home in the US got a six-month-old kitten named Oscar as a therapy cat. The staff soon noticed something unusual about him.

Oscar often liked to be by himself, but sometimes he would go and lie next to one of the residents. Strangely, the resident he chose would often pass away within a few hours.

At first, the workers didn't think it was important, but after it happened 20 times, they started to think Oscar knew when someone was going to die. So, they began to call the resident's family if they saw Oscar with them.

Some people think Oscar could sense certain smells from dying cells, and that's why he went to comfort residents who were alone.

There was even a time when the staff thought one resident was going to die, but Oscar stayed with a different, healthier-looking person, who then died first.

Oscar lived until 2022 and was right about more than 100 deaths during his life.

[Anne Lamott Quotes @AnneLamottQuote]

"Prayer is talking to something or anything with which we seek union, even if we are bitter or insane or broken. (In fact, these are probably the best possible conditions under which to pray.)" ~@ANNELAMOTT

@CalltoActivism Agree. He should not be in office. The Republicans need to find a new person who honestly represents their platform.

[Mary Lu Strange @marylustrange]

@TheOnlyEsta Yes

[Mary Lu Strange @marylustrange]

@JDaltonAuthor I’m sorry your best friend left too soon. May you find comfort in her love and your family. Love never ends.

[Mary Lu Strange @marylustrange]

@leyes3 Love never ends.
