Poppies, apple buds, rose buds springing up in these crazy Spring Times. Sometimes all you have to do is bloom.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

"The stories included here come from a community of practice of NM–based nonprofits launched in early 2025, and from recent clients. And although they are inspiring, the bottom line is that the withdrawal of federal funds is harming the sector." nonprofitquarterly.org/nonprofits-d...

Nonprofits have been through a lot the past year, and some of them are getting creative with their challenges. Thanks to all you allowed me to share their stories in my latest for @npquarterly.bsky.social nonprofitquarterly.org/nonprofits-d...

Had the pleasure of meeting the legend and author, Julia Cameron, tonight. 13 years ago this month, I picked up a copy of her book Transitions and launched my consulting company and have built my facilitation and leadership work with her inspirations. Now I have to write a Substack about it all! ❤️🙏🏻📖

Why, yes I do have a TBR pile next to my bed. You?

Happy Halloween! 👻🎃👀

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

May I have the energy of the first and second pitch home runs of game five of the Jays in the World Series. 😂🥳🔥🙌🏻
