Indeed! And this is my face while writing the article…

It is a big day for nonprofits! 🚨 In December, most charities raise over 1/3 of their revenue with about 20% of that arriving on the 31st. That's today! ⏰ If you haven't made your year-end contributions yet, today is the day to do so. Happy New Year!🥂 #Nonprofits #GiveBack #CharitableGiving

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

How many can you solve? 🧩 This clever picture was in my hotel room in Baltimore. Luckily I was there for 2 nights bc that’s how long it took me to get them all! 💭🛌💤 #rebus #puzzle #brainteaser

Why hello, Christmas! 🌺✨ I have had this Christmas cactus for years and blooming was rare. But when I was in Philly, it was in a perfect spot and would bloom over and over throughout the winter. Now, she is inconsistent. But what a joy to have several blooms this year. So festive! 🎄

Oh, boy. I guess it’s time. Also, wasn’t summer yesterday? #Holidaze #TooEarlyForThis

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Rest and relaxation on this #caturday! 😻

To pause and feel our in-breath and out-breath is a tonic we can turn to wherever we are and whenever we need it. Our calm comes from within, it is not found externally. Even in the middle of the flames we can rise free of burns and strong. 😊 #Cornwall #calm #peace #life #photography #mindfulness

Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate! May you have much joy and abundance today. Here in the DMV, it’s Pink Vibes Only! 😄🌸 #WashingtonDC #NationalLanding #CrystalCity #MetPark #CherryBlossoms

Thank you BlueSky for allowing me to come from work, turn on my computer and see flowers and mushrooms and beautiful landscapes and cats and birds and well, you get it. Thank you. 🥰
