So, President Zelenskyy tried to explain the war to Trump—who didn’t know the year Russia invaded Ukraine—& Vance, who’s never been to Ukraine but “saw stories.” He was then accused of running “propaganda tours,” not being appreciative of his country’s “savior” Trump, & “gambling with WWIII.”

Took the first step to wean myself off Amazon & bought my Boswellia & Magnesium Glycinate supplements elsewhere 😅 Did you know Americans spend an ave. of $91.75/mo. on Amazon, and 33% think what they spend on Amazon a year is more than what's currently in their savings account?!

In an already challenging new year, I’m grateful for some good news, which is that two of my poems were published in The Nature of Our Times (online) and will be considered for a forthcoming print anthology co-edited by Luisa A. Gloria, Aileen Cassinetto, and David Hassler!

Remember the countless beautiful and loving things that happen every day that never get reported.
Bad news events aren't the only reality. We can pay attention without having our vision skewed to seeing only the negative.
