There’s nothing quite like a reading nook. It took letting go of a few things to make room for it, but I now have a chair, pretty foot rest, small table, lamp, and cozy blanket set up in my room. After a long work day, I’m now ready to reeeelaxxxx.

Feel kind of like I did on 9/11. Am I supposed to write, and work, while the country is under attack? Except this time I’m not in an office, surrounded by co-workers feeling the same emotions. God help us all.

Doing well and doing good are more synergistic than many corporations think. It's not either/or...It's both/and.
Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

I had a Solstice party one year, and everyone brought something that they wanted to burn. We gathered in my back yard, each of us said a few words about our item, tossed it into the fire, and watched it all burn. Happy Solstice!
