I’ve been working on a commission today. As I paint I think back to my school days Repeatedly told how stupid I was & that I would amount to nothing
There were a lot of cruel things said in school, by people who shouldn’t have been teachers. I have spent my time trying to be more hare, less teacher

California is powered by two-thirds clean energy and has one of the world's largest economies, proving you can fight climate change and thrive at the same time.

I once got to see Sarah Vaughn live and in person --- close enough to be able to hear her voice without amplification! Words can't describe the beauty and richness of her tone, or the perfection of her phrasing.

Methinks my zeal to Valentine is cold
I've been saving lots of money by using the recipes on this channel. Nothing fancy, but cheap, super simple, and satisfying. As I'm not good at small fiddly things I'll just be making the teriyaki salmon stir-fry, but dashing it up a bit with fresh garlic and shrimp.

My mom fell on her 89th birthday this week and now she's in a rehab facility. She used to raise prize-winning irises. Please pray for her recovery.
