We all experience bad times. They will pass, and a new day will dawn. Maybe life will take you in a different direction. We can fall in love with life all over again when we realize we have little to no control over all of life’s events. Love life. It is beautiful and brief.

Social media can help people in need, educate them, or make people laugh and forget their problems for a little while. On LinkedIn, we can find jobs, or improve our work lives.
However, it also has a destructive dark side. Words have power and can hurt.
How will you use social media today?

One thing I like about Blue Sky is people here understand this statement and know it is an invitation to aid people who need a helping hand. Twitter doesn't get it.

Trump knew it was a lie when he said it. He has playing the ignorant down to a science.
Interesting how businesspeople who didn’t inherit and bankrupt companies actually understand and take seriously the laws of supply and demand. 🤔

Raise your hands as much as your disabilities will allow: Do you have any family members you hope choke on Thanksgiving? You can tell me. I'm a former lobbyist, which is almost like a priest. We know lots of secrets. 😉 Also, I can absolve you of the thoughts, and like a priest, for a fee.
