A generation of Americans gave their lives for democracy and the American idea. This Memorial Day, we face our own test — not of war, but of character. Fear is rising. So is cruelty. The question is: who will we choose to be? I wrote about that here. open.substack.com/pub/trygveol...

“You are not Gods. You are men.” ~Carole Cadwalladr youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

Anyone else feeling restless? Waking up several times in the night thinking it’s time to get up? Mind clear, energy focused, very productive and organized … as if preparing for something vitally important … getting all ducks in a row … nearly aligned. We’ve got this. 👏🏻

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

Oh the balance… happy, hurting and healing at the same time.

Time seems to have sped up drastically lately … anyone else feeling this?

Came across this in my reading this morning and realized I felt this way after the Pandemic but I’m okay in crowds again now. Life is shifting quickly and inviting us to reimagine ourselves in every moment.

What are you doing for fun? Any lighthearted reading? Listening to upbeat music and dancing like a wild thing? Watching anything that makes you laugh out loud? Doing silly activities with your people? #balance

@repmoskowitz.bsky.social What a disappointment that you voted with the republicans to censure your colleague Congressman Al Green.

Woke up with this phrase parading through my mind … ‘my sphere of influence’ and then this ‘All is well in my sphere of influence.’

Our thoughts, words and actions help create our reality. We are in charge of our worldview.

Trust yourSelf.

My intention is to focus the vast majority of my time, energy and resources on peace, joy, love, kindness, excellent health, financial serenity, and compassion while doing small, meaningful things to undermine all that is working in opposition to those.

To all of the good, kind, compassionate people, thank you!

Everybody including @mcuban.bsky.social has been telling me to get over on blue sky and start posting!

These times require core clarity and alignment. Ask yourself and others: Who am I and what are my core values? Then live aligned with answers through thoughts, words and actions. This will get us to a better future. Let’s focus on what we want, not on what we don’t want.

Having more moments of letting go of what was and realizing the past is gone. Karma will come for each of us … it’s not up to me to resist, judge, fear… now’s is the time to be in the now and to create a new world from peace, joy, love, prosperity, excellent health.

8 bluebirds show up twice a day so I can feed them … they’re such sweet little beings of Light.

OMG he IS saying that. Gee, I wonder where he heard it?

Eyes wide open. So is heart. May today bring peace, joy, love. Please.

Hello new community! I love how fast this place is growing. FYI we released a new Indivisible guide with practical steps that folks in red, blue, & purple states can take to fight back. Don't ask for permission - take it, copy it, make it your own, & start organizing. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Thoroughly enjoying a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice this morning and wondering what’s going to happen to the price of oranges. For now, soooo good.

this is how it feels to reach 30 MILLION users!!!

I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. Thanks for your integrity, Jim. @jimacosta.bsky.social

Thinking a lot about “Maslow’s Hammer” theory the last week … “If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” A whole toolbox is available to help us create a good life.

Ordered some things online that weren’t available locally … some from Canada and spices sourced from farmers all over the world. Felt right. How I spend my money is part of my voice.

Time to buy some lipstick from E.l.f. and support DEI. And I hardly ever wear makeup. www.cnn.com/2025/01/25/b...

8 bluebirds visit twice each day and thrill me every time.

Our dollars. Our voice. Ways to focus on what we want, not on what we don’t want. Companies scaling back or denouncing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. You don’t support us? We don’t support you.

My phrase for 2025 is ‘I’m settled into myself.’ There’s a grand balance in staying aware of reality, alert in a healthy way AND staying settled/grounded in the physical. 1/4

Love is the power that keeps me voting every day through actions, attitudes, and dollars. Goods Unite Us is one way to show them we know what they’re up to and we matter. www.goodsuniteus.com

Love always wins in the end … pondering all the ways to keep it winning before the end when hate is so prevalent.

These fake Christians wouldn’t know Jesus if he came down from heaven and died on a cross for them…

Thought my dance this morning was going to be wild, erratic, full blown expression of this week’s emotions … anger, sadness, confusion, disbelief. Instead it was flowy, gentle, soft, full of surrender to my body knowing what it needs. Our bodies know.

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

Think globally, act locally is resonating with me now more than ever before.

Dancing to a song called It’s Going to be a Great Day this morning and decided right then that I will smile at everyone I see today. Once upon a time I did that regularly but have gotten away from it. Today’s the day to begin connecting through smiles again.

Focusing on what we want, not on what we don’t want, brings more peace, joy, harmony.

I surrender the need to know … to understand. I ready myself to meet the moments with as much peace and presence as possible.

I can’t touch the sky but I won’t stop trying.

What’s your way of handling a big project? I tend to plan it for an early morning, wake up and get right to it. I do the hardest parts first so the rest is easier.

Who are your people? Where are your places? Reflecting. Grateful.

Something about a blue sky! 👏🏻 Celebrating every one …

Good morning! Happy Monday! Do your days tend to feel too short, too long or just right? What will you do and how will you be with this day? 💕✌🏻🙌🏻
