My mini protest today as I travel through Italy.

Traveling in Italy while our country is being destroyed is tough but lots of political discussions over great food and wine followed by angry missives to our elected officials. Still we are loving this beautiful country and kind people.

I need some encouragement today. I just deleted X after being totally addicted to it for years. Until recently it always felt important to me to represent us Blue folks in the discussions but lately the vitriol, hate and stupidly just got to me. I can live without this in my life. Cheers!

Hey something lite for the first day of 2025. My daughter polar plunging in the Sprague River in Oregon! She is a cancer survivor and lives every moment large! Cheers!

Even if we live to be 100 years old, our entire lifetime is just a blink of an eye compared to Earth's 4.5 billion years of existence. Why waste our precious time on negativity and hating our fellow travellers who share this brief journey with us? Let's find joy instead.

What a depressing frump shit show week. My weekend self care? Binge watching Queer Eye and a trip to Trader Joe’s.

A plug for a volunteer program I am engaged with which is keeping me sane during these trying times. CASA- Court Appointed Special Advocate for children in the foster system. Very rewarding and so needed for these vulnerable kids. Consider it wherever you live. There is much need. Cheers!
