Perhaps instead of doubling the DHS budget, Congress should have doubled the DoE budget.

Taking a peak at the budget that passed. Looks like they're planned to set aside $1 Billion for security for the LA 2028 Olympics.

“Courage is never required from a position of comfort.”

@saltocoach.bsky.social and I we’re very painstaking with every word in the book, but this is one of my favorite lines. It feels very appropriate today.

Do you have a favorite line that resonates with you?

Is it Motivation or Manipulation?
If it benefits you that’s motivation, if it benefits them it might be manipulation. Also, get perspective by traveling!

One of the most powerful things The Balance offers is perspective. Simone experienced it and Aimee is able to share what instilling perspective looks like through her own journey.
