When someone tries to hand you their anger, don’t take the gift.
As the Buddha told a heckler: if a gift isn’t accepted, it still belongs to the giver. Same with rage and drama. Don’t accept it. It stays with the giver. Choose peace.

No matter what side of this issue you're on, you own this.
The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

Happy Heavenly 100th birthday to my extraordinary father. Whatever goodness lives inside of me is a result of his example. Hoping dad is celebrating the day with my mom and my sister, Judy.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

I woke up this morning thinking about someone I love with a world-view 180 degrees from my own. We’ve only locked horns about it one time. It was painful. But I came to a realization that I hope is helpful to you.

If your dream really matters, nothing will stand in your way. The tenacious survive because they stay focused on goal achieving — not tension relieving. You are where you are because of what you’ve accepted. #Motivation #MindsetMatters #Tenacity #GoalGetter #SelfDiscipline #KeepGoing #ReelMotivation

Melanie is right. No matter how dark a day may feel, there is always a person, a place, a random act of kindness that is worth a smile. It's even better when you're the giver!
Don’t let the day be wasted with worry. Smile and look around you for all the reasons to be thankful. 🫶🏻 #StarfishCub

With thanks to @rudygaskins1.bsky.social No two paths are the same, and there’s no perfect timeline. Like learning to write, you don’t really get it until you’re at the keyboard, figuring it out as you go. Keep writing!

Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery.

Hard truth incoming: You are the #author of your next chapter. Every decision, or non-decision writes it.

BTW... You’re already a #superhero. So… what are you going to do with your powers?
