Who I wish I was quarantined with:
-a massage therapist

-a teacher

Who I am quarantined with:
-a cranky writer too anxious to write*
-an old-man doggy who refuses to cuddle

*it’s me. The writer is me.

Trying to prove something here: is there anyone in the world who doesn’t like @VancityReynolds (besides Ryan Reynolds’s himself, who I’m sure has something snarky to add).

"Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking.

You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started."

"If you're not working hard, ideas don’t matter. The best idea is worthless without execution.

If you're already working hard, ideas are crucial. Most effort is wasted on mediocre ideas."

Johnson & Johnson filed in court last week to split its Baby Powder from the rest of the company. Why? J&J knew asbestos laced some bottles but kept it a secret for decades. Tens of thousands of women with ovarian cancer are suing, and the company wants to shield its assets.

One thing I know for sure, if you want to cripple a persons potential, or stifle a nation’s growth, the only thing you have to do is keep them
🔹Sick
🔹Hungry
🔹Uneducated
Because that person is no longer trying to thrive, but merely survive.

And America, we are rolling die on 3
