“America has sometimes confused power with greatness. But genuine greatness is not a matter of mere power; it is a matter of integrity. “ - Jack Kornfield
This is a genuine question. If you have the chance to see what the American Southwest has to offer and really marvel at the gift that it is, would you want to see it destroyed for future generations? @realDonaldTrump
Have been reading about @realDonaldTrump and his plan to sell off 150,000 acres of public land in Utah to be used for fracking. My question, has he ever even been there? Has he sat out under the stars in Moab next to a campfire? Slept on a houseboat at Lake Powell? Does he care?
Gmorning from the alto section
never front and center
but taking on the hardest, weirdest notes with a smile
filling out the chord
so you can sing the melody
take a solo, love
To all our veterans and your families: thank you. There's no tribute that can truly match the magnitude of your service and sacrifice. But all of us can do our best to live up to the American values of service, responsibility, generosity, and citizenship that you helped defend.

The antidote to government by a powerful few is government by the organized, energized many. This National Voter Registration Day, make sure you're registered, vote early if you can, or show up on November 6. This moment is too important to sit out.
Sitting in the laundromat and watching this lady separate her towels and sheets into one dryer, jeans and work stuff into another dryer and delicates into another one. Thaaaat seems like a lot of work... I throw it all in there together. For real. #lazylaundry#laundromatmusings
Gmorning to you
& the stories that define you,
The ones that make you go,
“That’s when I realized...”
To the dustbin with the stories that diminish you.
Give prominent shelf space to the stories that fortify you.
Prominent self-space to the best in you.
Let’s goooo
Why is it that as soon as I go in the bathroom and lock the door every kid in my house needs to go potty IMMEDIATELY AND IT’S AN EMERGENCY!!!!????? #momlife#onebathroomwoes#parenting
Is there a better option for our high schoolers than to work themselves sick to get into colleges where they’ll work themselves sick to get jobs where they’ll work themselves sick? There’s gotta be a better way for our kids than this hamster wheel.
We will always remember everyone we lost on 9/11, thank the first responders who keep us safe, and honor all who defend our country and the ideals that bind us together. There's nothing our resilience and resolve can’t overcome, and no act of terror can ever change who we are.
I ate a late lunch today. However, I still had to: 1. Make dinner 2. Fill up plates for 3 children 3. Watch hubs fill up his plate 4. Workout while fam ate 5. Put away dinner I didn’t eat 6. Make myself a shake. If that isn’t the definition of #momlife I don’t know what is.
