Let’s remember Dr. King words today and more importantly, his work! Also, today is not just a day off but a day of service. Do something for someone today. And like Dr. King said, “Keep Pushing!
Dear white America, attacking small children because you feel insecure is still an act of racism. Calling the cops does not make you stronger, it shows your cowardice. #MenomoneeFalls#DoBetter
I did not go to @MarquetteU and I did not go to @UWMadison. (I probably was not smart enough to get into either.) No matter where you went to school you should be cheering for Marquette. They are so much fun to watch!
What an amazing gesture to honor our guy and the first thing I wanted to do was call the very person that won’t answer the phone.
So today I’m sad because as much as I think I can handle his loss, I can’t. It still seems like a scene out of the Twilight zone. Grief sucks.
Most days seem like a blur. Like how are we just supposed to simply carry on. The world around us just seems to move on. I felt myself pretty composed to go back to work. But today was different. Today I had an in-person meeting and I was fine.
We went through the formalities of them asking how I was doing and I said I wasn’t sure how to explain it and we carried on with our meeting. I think being in business mode made me feel present but still a little just not there.
At the end of my meeting, one of the women told me the entire leadership group for the shelters and homeless programs had made a collection and were donating to Camp Kesem in Ken’s name. In that moment, I lost it. I just was consumed with grief and it hit me like a wave.
