“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious … She’s been a little under the weather and I simply asked for prayers bc I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up.”

this song always struck me as the (sad) spiritual successor to "She Works Hard for the Money". Like, she worked so hard but then a few things go wrong and next thing you know...

"personalized updates" "visual cards" "each day starts with a new, focused set of updates" ...countdown to Chatgpt ads...

sunday morning retro dance party continues... #music

woke up with a sunday morning retro dance party in my head #music

The Present Speaks of Past Pain ~ Dr. Maya C. Popa This beautiful poem is a favorite. 🍁 —the sky is awash in waning light, when, if we might forgive each other, this would be the hour for it.
