Pete Hegseth admitted to the Senate that he paid $50,000 (!!!) to silence a "Jane Doe" who accused him of rape. But at his hearing last week, he said he was “falsely accused." More questions than answers. We can't rush his vote and trust him with our national security.

I believe empathy is valuable and that movies (and stories in all forms) have the ability to teach it to us, if we’ll let them. They allow us to step outside of ourselves and see life from other perspectives.

I love new diary days, new years, and new beginnings. I’m excited to set off on my first trip of the year this morning!

Marta was stunning. She was looking at me there. I was a child squealing at how adorable she was and standing by with treats and snuggles. How lucky am I that I was her human. My heart is just bursting with joy and love for her still.

I braved my first ever Black Friday for a Taylor Swift book, album, and CD. This is the Anthology that has her song “Robin” on it. 😉 I never thought Black Friday sounded fun, but this was a great experience. I met some kind Swifties in line, got what I wanted, and enjoyed myself!

Happy Thanksgiving, dear friends! Here’s a fun little memory…I’m throwing it back to my college days when I was Charlotte Church’s dancer in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I was in a butterfly costume and learned choreography to her performance of “Carrickfergus”…I loved every moment of it.

Today I woke up feeling hopeful and more like myself. I have a lot to do today, but I like to make "Get To Do" lists. That way, I don't have to keep worrying about forgetting to do something. hah So that's what I'm going to do, then get started on my day.

This week has been an emotional roller coaster soaring between feeling awful, like a burden to the world, pretty much the worst I've ever been, broken, terrible, and then okay (for a minute). Then the cycle begins again. I've done much work on myself, and I know things will be fine. It's just hard.

I don't follow anyone who has hunting or fishing in their bio. If one enjoys killing other sentient beings so much they need to boast about it as one of the primary things about themselves, they're just not my kind of people. Torturing and killing animals for fun is extremely disturbing behavior.

Thank you so much for joining me here in my little corner of Blue Sky. I haven't even been a full week, and it's already my favorite social media. I love the kind vibes and community. Today I felt the excitement of new possibilities. So much is up in the air, but am hopeful.
