Dolly Parton’s husband of nearly 60 yrs passed away today. Someone posted, in part, “It's hard knowing that her big heart is breaking tonight.” Captured so simply what I was feeling. Dolly is in my thoughts. ❤️
(BTW, for “those” who struggle with the concept, this is what is known as EMPATHY. 😒)

Today, on the 60th anniversary of his assassination, it feels especially right to remember El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz...Malcolm X
(May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965). Today also marks what would have been Congressman John Lewis’s 85th birthday. It’s time to get in “good trouble, necessary trouble…” ✊🏾

Despite the troubles 2025 has already wrought - and will likely continue to bring to the world - I’m trying to set a more positive tone in even the smallest ways…feed the senses, gather with friends, self-care without guilt. #LiveLoveLaugh #YOLO

In an extreme post-Sucktober frenzy, I totally overbooked this wknd! Dinner & Dmas lights on Fri, steel-drum band concert on Sat, 80s throwback w/ Culture Club at the O2 on Sun, & tomorrow, end-of-semester libations w/ the girls. That’s practically my quota for fun in 2025 sorted already! 🤣

Easing back into my pre-pandemic Thanksgiving tradition of visiting a different Christmas market each year. 🦃🎄 This year marks my first Turkey Day spent outside of London since 2021 (🤯), my time visiting a UK Christmas market AND my first-ever visit to the birthplace of The Beatles…Liverpool!!
