Best advice: Just don’t freak out. Get grounded and connected, remember who you are, what matters to you and what is good for you. Be courageous & informed but also joyful.

Spending a lot of time these days with my 91.5 yo mom who has mostly stopped eating. I’ll take joy where I find it. Here’s a pic I took today from the back porch of the pottery studio. He was about 10-15 feet away.

I get followed on TikTok by a lot of people who are pretending to be other people, but usually they’re pretending to be people I like.

To react is to be controlled. To respond requires a centered heart. Don’t just react. Say what you’re FOR. Stand tall. Be the things we need: compassion, integrity, intelligence, creativity.
And avoid the s&$tshow today - it won’t help anyone. Do something good for yourself or others. Honor MLK.

Pics of my mother, Olivia LaMotte, with Jimmy Carter years ago. She loved him so. We all did.
She was the founding director of the Roanoke, VA chapter of Habitat for Humanity, an org well worth supporting, internationally or locally if you want to honor the Carters.

What a good day yesterday! A cup of tea on Carolina Beach, thrifting, Fat Cat Pottery, then after the long drive home, unloading a kiln. I really enjoyed that day.
I think I’m gonna like this whole retirement thing.
