So close.

Progress matters.

Painted today. I needed to find beauty again. When things get heavy, art can remind you why we keep going.

“Do not tempt dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.”

Introduce yourself with: One book: Starchild ~ James Owen 📚 One movie: The Other Sister 🎥 One album: Jagged Little Pill ~ Alanis Morrisette 🎶 One TV Show: Parenthood 📺

“If your voice wasn’t so powerful, they wouldn’t be trying to silence you.”

Prairie Hawk was out this morning. His wingspan was wider than my arm span. Just beautiful.

When the sun breaks over the horizon, it’s a new day. You’ve got this.

Good morning, Starshine. The Earth says hello.

Listening to Lullaby by Toad the Wet Sprocket, it’s all could wish for anyone tonight. “Goodnight, don’t fear. I always will watch over you my dear.” What music reaches you when challenges seem to crowd out the sun?

People will always connect. Artists will always create. Musicians will continue playing. You can’t regulate or control it because it simply is who we are. And together we are powerful. Make something magical today.

#Migration: The global refugee crisis is made worse by countries closing their borders and turning their backs on the most vulnerable people. This is a humanitarian crisis, and it demands a more humane response. Seeking safety is not a crime.

happy lunar new year!!

The haze clears, plants grow, and we fold into a new embodiment of who we are. No one outside of you determines who you are or what you are worth. That is your decision to make. I believe you are priceless.

The writers of the new season of The Apprentice need to be fired. “I’m tired of this grandpa.”

It can be hard to see clearly but increasing contrast illustrates where the work is to do. When you see it, you can address it.

#NeverForget

This year's Caldecott medal went to a book about an older sister frustrated when her baby brother "helps." The Newbery went to a middle-grade tale about a time traveler at the turn of the century.

Cotton candy clouds drift against a soft sunrise. Rest to repair and then re-engage. You can do this. Softness as strength.

Accountability can feel like oppression when you are habituated to taking advantage of others.

A claim to power is only legitimized when others accept your claim. We all have authority over our very self. Do not give away that which is inherent, your power is in being who you are.

As the wind removes all barriers trust that compassion is the deepest truth. Compassion, connection, and collaboration as we work to include and support everyone.
