I get that people are stressed out and concerned and I appreciate people being privacy aware, but I fail to see how me trying to make sure that people who ordered our game receive our game is such a horrific breach of proper behavior.

Am I missing something?

Almost Heaven bakery popped up in Idyllwild, CA today and it was heaven. The sourdough was next level, the cookies were wild, and the pastries? Unreal. I’m in trouble if they show up every week.

After a year of trying to understand AI, I’ve realized no one really gets it. But I know it’s time to learn how to work with it. I’ve joined a 6-month training to build skills I can use—and to help seniors and young adults engage with AI, not fear it. #AI #LearningJourney

Trying to understand AI feels like chasing a moving target. I’m realizing it’s less about mastering what it is, and more about learning how to use it—especially with such an uncertain future.

Back then, I thought I’d have it all figured out by now.
Instead, I’m standing at the edge of something new—older, maybe wiser, definitely humbler.
This is just me, saying: I’m in the in-between. Not lost, not found. Just… moving forward, one small step at a time. #MidlifeJourney

I’m not sure what I want yet—I just know I need to focus, get to work, and figure out what forward looks like. At 55, it’s funny—I was more sure of myself at 18. That old joke, “Hire a teenager while they still know everything,” used to make me laugh. Now I feel it in my bones. #MidlifeJourney

Is DoorDash helping—or pushing people deeper into debt? Most don’t think twice about using credit to order food, but this made me pause. I remember being surprised the 1st time I saw someone use a credit card at a fast food place. Maybe it’s time to rethink my habits. www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...
'Eat now, pay later'? DoorDash-Klarna deal fuels concerns around loans for takeout
The food-delivery app and the installment lender say they’re offering a flexible alternative to high-interest credit cards. Some social media users and advocates see it as a sign of hard times.

Blue skies used to mean peace to me. Now, I look at them and think, “I need to get moving.”
I’ve never seen money as the goal. I’ve always just wanted to live, help where I can, and stay grounded. But lately, money has become a major need. And I don’t love how that feels. #MidlifeJourney

Forgot to take photos at the Idyllwild Farmers Market, but I left with sweet strawberries, vibrant parsley and cilantro, and a beautiful loaf of fresh sourdough. Next time I’ll bring a camera—and maybe a bigger tote. 🍓🌿🍞 #Idyllwild #FarmersMarket #MountainLife

Day 2 of teaching cooking to young leaders. We doubled pancake batter, added chocolate chips too early, eggs hit the flour too fast, and we blew the power. But vegan breakfast was made, pancakes were eaten, and lessons were learned. Progress, not perfection. 🍳🥞🌱⚡#CookingClass #VeganFood
