RE: RETURN TO SENDER

Dear @nationalpost. Somehow this (not sure how to describe it, at least in kind language) landed in my feed. I'm just returning it to sender. I'm sure you will find a nice spot for it in a morgue of old newspapers(ideas).

Thanks. https://t.co/FoH8DzuhBl

Hey #ldnont here is an idea! 👇

For nearly 20 years, Ellsworth Drive in Silver Spring, Maryland has been closed to cars. In that time, it's become a vibrant communal space.

What's stopping your downtown from creating a street like this?

Lessons of life from a wise, young man #Zimbabwe

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

A powerful speech by the Head-boy of the affluent Heritage School.

He talks about how his family hit economic hard times, and had to move to Epworth sharing 2 rooms.

He sleeps on the sofa chair, and used a Kombi, but didn’t let that deter him.
He became the head boy regardless.

Apparently there is a warrant out for my arrest according to fraudster caller 1-519-575-7578. I didn't know I needed to laugh until I got that call #lunchtimelaughs #ScamAlert

One day I will tell my story in full. But for now: Trust your instincts. Know your worth. Be brave enough to forge your own lane if it does not exist. Choose your mentors wisely. And above all, do not be afraid to step into your purpose, because it’s absolutely beautiful here

In prep for the Olympics been watching a lot of athletics vids with my son. He asked me to send this to @usainbolt : Hello Mr. Bolt. I watched your races & I really enjoyed watching them. I kept asking my dad to go on Twitter to find you.

@daisiesnbruises Yeah we had it good but just didn't know it. Just waiting to see what our post-covid life will be like.

Food/drink remains one of the more potent ways to motivate/engage people. I volunteered with Wafrika for 10+ years in part 'cause they had Ethiopian food at my first meeting. #COVID19Vaccination https://t.co/WD1M3SxPwR
