It’s Veterans Day, and I’m thinking of my dad — a proud Marine whose love for family and country shaped everything I do. Thank you to all who’ve served, and to those who continue to protect the freedoms we hold dear. 🇺🇸

Every day when I see my Ivy from President Obama’s office, I remember that hope is still alive. The original ivy may not be there anymore, but its clippings are flourishing with abundance. If we work together and remain hopeful, one day the Ivy will return to the White House where it belongs.🪴❤️

Congrats to Michael Burcham on his new book, The Art of Startup Failure.
Even smart startup founders can fall for misleading traps. Dr. Burchum has seen it all, and now he’s sharing that experience so that others don’t make the same costly mistakes.

Happy Day of the Dead to all who celebrate! 💐
I really appreciate the Mexican approach to death. Dia de los Muertos is about celebrating life, finding joy in pain, connecting with the souls of loved ones, and keeping their memory alive.

👻 Happy Halloween, Tennessee! 🎃
Natasha’s not letting me anywhere near her with her Doggy Parton costume (yes, there’s a blonde wig and a guitar involved). So enjoy these memories — recent and from way back — while we wrangle this little diva. 🐾

October is National Book Month and as it comes to an end, I hope you’ve had some time to read. When Max was young, our goal was to instill him a love of books by reading to him. 📚

It feels like there’s a lot going on that we can’t control right now, but one thing we can do is donate to local organizations who help feed our most vulnerable neighbors.

Last night B and I celebrated 32 years of marriage with a fantastic show at The Ryman. Jason Isbell never disappoints.
Check out my wedding dress all those years ago...I may have seen the Sound of Music one too many times 🤭

Mike Johnson wants to call Saturday’s No Kings Rally “anti America.” 7mil people PEACEFULLY protesting against an authoritarian president who is our checks and balances is the MOST American act we can do. Johnson may choose to ignore our history, but we haven’t. We know who we are. ❤️🤍💙
