Kindness always matters. Peace is always the goal. Retired after 30+ years in insurance with 19 years in claims. What an experience. Love home. Enjoy travel. Appreciate Bernie Sanders. No more war.

I've been sitting down with Wisconsinites to hear how Republicans' plan to gut Medicaid to help pay for tax cuts for the rich will hurt families and access to healthcare across our state. More than one million Wisconsinites depend on Medicaid. We can’t let this happen.

You're not unreasonable or "mean" for raising your standards about who is allowed access to your emotions, your time, your skill, or your engagement. Realistic trauma recovery asks us to get unapologetically selective about who & what deserves our limited bandwidth.

He can take sharpies to prison. He can share them with the Jan. 6th violent offenders who also belong there. They can all write their memoirs that will go directly into a dumpster.

I received an early Mother's Day gift today. One of my adult kids bought a carburetor for the lawn mower and installed it. Practical, useful and appreciated! Yay, Mother's Day!

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

"He has no heart. He has no soul. He has no conscience. To call him a clown is a disservice because it avoids the true horror of his condition. His blatant and irredeemable inhumanity." - Bernie Sanders

A true leader!

I just couldn't pass up the lemon raspberry muffins at Costco. They're super moist and delicious! Only $6.99 for 8! Life is good when we treat ourselves. We're worth it!

We are a democracy. We continue to say no. No to Trump and his enablers. Trump's ridiculous rantings will end. We are a democracy.

We are here to share what we have. We are here to love and be loved.

So very true…👇 Absolutely nothing. Enjoy. 😎✨

MAGA, get your King to explain the difference.....

Happy Tuesday. Happy Spring.

Getting creative! 😉 Hundreds of billboards are rising in 40 U.S. cities, bashing staff and service cuts at national parks under DOGE.

You are as deserving of support & safety as any human being who has ever existed on the planet— right here, right now. No accomplishment or transformation required. You are lovable even when you don’t feel loved & worthy even when you feel worthless. Don’t believe Trauma Brain.

“There is nothing clever or funny about this image, Mr. President,” the New York State Catholic Conference said, “We just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St. Peter. Do not mock us.”

"What if you suddenly saw that the silver of water was brighter than the silver of money? What if you finally saw that the sunflowers, turning toward the sun all day and every day - who knows how, but they do it - were more precious, more meaningful than gold?" - Mary Oliver

Americans can do with less Trump. Much less. We're fine with no Trump. Lesson learned.

Trump and Musk claim to be firing VA employees in the name of “efficiency,” but what they’re really doing is breaking a promise to the people who served us. I heard from VA employees and veterans in Milwaukee about what cutting 80,000 of the VA workforce would mean for our vets.

I unfriended many former "friends" on Facebook. I don't miss their holier than thou scripture posts. I stopped posting when Zuckerberg pledged his allegiance. Will they change their minds? Until then, I'm done.

Trump is in serious need of intensive mental health services. Involuntary psychiatric commitment is necessary and kind.

Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me. Here’s my message to Wisconsinites. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. ⬇️

"Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." - Fred Rogers

Sustainable trauma recovery means getting real clear & unashamed about what we need in this moment-- whether it's encouragement, a plan, or a hug. Our needs are going to shift moment to moment & trigger to trigger. We've gotta accept & roll w/ them-- no shame.

Thank you! 🦅

This year's first sighting of fox kits in the yard. Happy Wednesday! Find your joy!

Post comments include this info - The company is Fidelity National Financial. The owner and founder, billionaire Bill Foley, is a major Republican donor and Trump supporter. Foley gave 500K to Trump in 2020 and 2024. And millions more to other Republican causes.

Yes, help them. Feed the hungry. Shelter the homeless. Thou shalt not hurt them. No more war.

A history lesson. It's not too late to move on without him and his nasty cronies.

Morning arrives and reminds us we didn't pay for the sun. Appreciate Nature. Appreciate the Earth. They are gifts we cannot buy.
