Being true to yourself in a world that says you can't be you is the most important thing you can ever do, don't live for other people's idealism or values.

What's left if we don't have hope?
I’m a huge fan of classic love stories. The original Dumb & Dumber being my all time fav.
Hope, honesty, and laughter are powerful.
Sooo you’re telling me there’s a chance………orange misery will vanish……..

My thoughts on Trump claiming non-involvement in the Obama-ape video posted on his Truth Social. Every piece of bullshit he (and those around him) produce has purpose. He continuously distracts us from what matters - saving democracy. Hey, I fall for it too.

Sorry about the mass SP posts. My son, his gf and daughter spent 4 days here because of no electricity for over a week due to the snow and ice. Do y'all know how destructive a (almost) 2 yr old is? It's gonna take me forever to undo the devastation! 🤣🤣
Good thing she's cute!

Dear Donald,
You let the nuclear arms treaty with Russia expire, today?
That should be reason enough not to give you a Peace Prize.

We have to make some noise for the children. They look to us to keep them safe and secure. We are teaching them how to fight for what they believe in when they are adults.

The "Quiet" from even America's Sane voters and legislators is Hurting All of OUR Children. Silence to Injustice is an Accomplice! Find Your Anger, Find Your Voices & Find Your Commitment to America's Future, Our Children! OUR Children Deserve a Livable & Secure America! youtu.be/i-Lx7dIj9nQ?...

I told myself I wouldn't let what's going on dim my light.
But lately, I do have to reach down deep and find that fire - uncover that joy. I'm sure I don't stand alone in that. If our hearts are in the right place, we always find our way..with a little help from our friends. Thanks for being here! 💙
