I left my wallet at a McDonald’s the other day.

After discovering my wallet missing a few hours later, I went back to the McDonald’s to see if they had my wallet.

I did not expect to get my wallet back.

But the black kid at the register said “Yeah, man. We got it!”

Another kid got it for me. I thanked them profusely.

I checked inside. Mainly, wanted to make sure my driver’s license was there.

I assumed the cash would be gone. But, amazingly, all the cash was still there.

I gave each of the workers there (mostly teens of mixed ethnicities) $20 as a Thank-You for being so honest, which pretty much emptied my wallet.

I was just happy to get my license back.

Everything else easy to replace.

The experience showed me that 99% of Americans really are good, honest hardworking people.

It’s less than 1% who are committing the crimes.

If those kids working at that McDonald’s mostly represent the values of today’s young people, I feel pretty optimistic about America’s future.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

My family came to Canada after the Hungarian Revolution in 1956.

My grandfather stood behind a broken table in torn clothing selling eggs hoping this country would give his family a chance.

I am proof that it did.

Canada gave my family safety. It gave us opportunity. It gave me the chance to become an entrepreneur and help build one of Canada’s most important companies.

That’s why I spend so much time talking about what Canada needs to fix. Not because I’ve lost faith in this country, but because I believe so deeply in what it can be.

I never want to lose sight of what Canada has given my family.

Lindsay and I chose to raise our daughters here because we still believe in this country.

That’s worth fighting for.

i actually think "surface level" friendships are very healthy. not everyone in your life has to be your ride or die. some friends are for the gym. some are for going out. some are just for complaining about work or bureaucracy. when you stop expecting everyone to be your everything, the disappointment disappears. those deep convos and connections are for the 2-3 people closest to you

i'm in love with this quote:

"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."

Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.

you must create because the thing you’d make doesn’t exist anywhere else. nobody has your exact combination of experiences and wounds and obsessions, which means the work only you could make is genuinely irreplaceable. if you don’t make it, it simply never exists. the world just goes without it, never knowing what it missed. that’s the most exciting thing about being you. the thing is waiting and you’re the only door it has.

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

I aspire to be a woman who keeps learning and evolving. Never stuck, never stagnant. Always reading, listening, growing, changing. I want to be humble enough to admit when I'm wrong and brave enough to do better. I want to be 50 and still discovering new things about myself.

This is what normal consumption should look like:
​Driving your car for 10+ years
​Cooking at home most nights
​Living below your means
​Packing your lunch
​Keeping your phone for years
​Buying used when possible
​Brewing coffee at home
​Re-wearing clothes and shoes

​A lot of financially healthy habits look boring from the outside but boring habits are usually what create long term wealth.

[Your Best Version @YourPrimePath]

Get OUT of your room.

Go to a coffee shop. Rent somewhere for the weekend. Sit in a park. Walk through a part of the city you've never been to. Go anywhere that isn't the same four walls you've been staring at for months.

Same room = same thoughts.

The number of ideas that hit when you change location will make you wonder why you stayed stuck in one place for so long.

[Josh @JD_Quotes2017]

As long as your intentions are pure, don't stress over anything or anyone. Trust that you will always end up exactly where you're meant to be, and that nothing is ever truly your loss.

the moon is so beautiful, our world, our universe is so so beautiful I wish we were kinder to each other and I wish we appreciated the beauty all around us more because there are so many beautiful things, and so so much joy and love all around.

This week has felt like a quiet triumph for all of humanity. Four individuals have journeyed farther than anyone has in over half a century, a reminder that our reach is only limited by our courage to try. Behind that moment stands not just the crew, but an entire ground team whose relentless dedication made the impossible feel within grasp.

I had stepped away from the world for a few days, disconnected from everything, and returned this morning to witness this story. And somehow, it felt even more profound, like stepping back into humanity at its very best.

In such missions the families of the crew almost always go unmentioned. The ones who stay behind often carry a different kind of bravery, the silent, enduring kind. Their strength, their faith, their willingness to let their loved ones chase the unknown… it’s a courage that deserves just as much recognition.

Today’s gesture by the Artemis 2 crew, naming a crater after Carroll. It feels deeply human. Not symbolic in a distant way, but intimate, grounding. A reminder that even as we push into the vastness of space, we carry our love, our relationships, and our stories with us.
I have always believed that space exploration holds a kind of magic, but it’s never just in the stars or the spacecraft. The real magic is us, the humans who dare, who care, who remember. It is the love we refuse to leave behind.
This moment captures that beautifully. I don’t have the words to describe this- Grief, wonder, love - all at once.
Godspeed Artemis II. The world is watching, hoping, and holding its breath for your safe return.

"Integrity and Carroll Crater, loud and clear"❤️‍🩹

They named a crater after Reid's wife. I'm sobbing. Jeremy said, "it's a bright spot on the moon"

[disha @yzybby]

the crew cried as they became the furthest people from earth, they named the Integrity crater after one of the astronaut’s deceased wife. i love humanity, i love how we go to the moon and we name that bright spot after someone loved. we name that crater after the spaceship craft that carried them so far. something about us being so small, barely making a dent in the universe, but still going with love.
