I love everything about nature, from the skies to the dirt.
It reminds me to breathe, to notice, to keep growing.

The Crow and the Pitcher is one of Aesop’s most famous fables.

A thirsty crow finds a pitcher with a little water, but its beak can’t reach. Instead of giving up, the crow drops pebbles in one by one until the water rises high enough to drink.

This summer marks the final season for our peach tree. 🪏

After six years of diligent efforts, Neem oil and daily care, the peaches remain unproductive. Peach trees test even the most patient gardener.

We’re replacing it with a fig tree, ready to nurture something new. 🌱

“We are the ones who have our children in cages.”

This track is not entertainment; it is truth.

Laborers, caregivers, the backbone of the economy—they have been criminalized, dehumanized, and disappeared.

This is a protest in rhythm.

The peaches made it through but now flea beetles are leaving tiny holes all over the leaves.

Looks like it’s back to neem oil, early mornings, and spraying under every leaf.

The fruit is safe. Now it’s the leaves’ turn. 🍑

The pomegranates are finally growing by the dozens! ✨

After years of squirrel theft, our miniature schnauzer has taken on the role of garden police.

Turns out, all this tree needed was a little sunshine, water, and a tiny dog with a loud bark and fast legs. 🐶

At some point, you realize:

You don’t owe endless replies to people who aren’t listening.

You don’t have to defend yourself forever against rhetorical traps.

Some folks argue to exhaust you, not to understand you.

You’re allowed to step away with your integrity intact.

UnitedHealth just dodged a bullet in the billion-dollar fraud case. A special master found no solid evidence against them for keeping Medicare overpayments. If the judge agrees, the DOJ’s claims could be toast. #NoMoreUHC #NoMoreOptum #UnitedHealthcare #Optum

The DOJ is coming for UnitedHealthcare, for allegedly juicing Medicare payments by inflating diagnoses. UHC, of course, denies everything. Another day, another scandal. Maybe instead of profits, they should focus on, I don’t know… actual healthcare? #NoMoreUHC #NoMoreOptum #UnitedHealthcare #Optum

“You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘You are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.”
