What conversation did you happen to hear on repeat during the holiday gatherings? I heard this at every celebration and it went like...I just can't wait to see 2025 end. Looking forward to 2026!

Some of us were lucky enough to grow up in a state where the college football makes you pick a team. No matter which one you choose, you are still going to have an absolute blast before, during and after the Iron Bowl game. Bringing people together since 1893, so it's Roll Tide and War Eagle! 🏈

In a country that is doing everything it can to divide us, it's essential to fill your daily cup with love and compassion.
Consider pet adoption. I guarantee you won't feel helpless anymore; instead you will positively impact the life of a homeless animal and gain a best friend for life.

If humans can evolve to finally understand the connection we share with this planet, then it will be the greatest accomplishment to witness in my lifetime. Humans don't own this planet or its inhabitants. Stop the exploitation of all creatures, great and small. It's humans who must change.

The age of keeping whales and dolphins in captivity must finally come to an end

Life is strange, one minute we are dancing across the stars; the next minute, we are struggling to keep our heads above water. It's hard to be a human. When our world, our societies and our communities are suffering, we all suffer. Look inward for healing- be better to yourself. 🌍
