People on WIC don’t even have diapers covered but we were covering 100% of gamblers losses??? And now people are complaining about it only being 90% - how about 0% because you made a bet and lost, it was free will. WTAF.

What I find lacking from any media coverage rn is we know the exact number of troops in #LA but I haven’t seen one report of the number of peaceful protestors on the ground for any of the days since Saturday….I would love to see those numbers. @1440daily.bsky.social

This morning I am #grateful for:
a good night’s sleep, my body feeling well, my kids are safe and happy, the rain just might be over in NorCal, birdsong, and juggling at least three good books all midway through.

Seems like a good day to refocus on the small #beauty around us. I found this font (New!) in an victorian book on fonts and I just ❤️ it. What small thing that you keep nearby makes you smile on a daily basis? A rock your child gave you? A quote on a post-it? A photo? The 🌳 outside your window?

This book, ‘Original Love’ by Henry Shukman is a game changer if you want to dive deeper into #mindfulness and spiritual awakening.
Reading it was a spiritual clinic: actionable, accessible and grounded. As a writer myself, I was impressed with its structure and page flow - incredible work HS.

#Grateful for an afternoon nap, old friends, time to do errands, my family oriented notes sharing the city council play by play going over well within the moms group, chocolate, cleaning out closets and no rain today.
