I found Batman, I mean Bruce Wayne's, I mean Batman's robot lawn mower. This is for real that's why I'm sharing the Walmart listing rather than just a photo. It's pricier than others but worth it because it is atomic rocket-powered and can do a 180 on a dime using a parachute deployment.

#MindfulnessMonday -- #Compassion is easy in calm. It's #courageous in chaos. If I can't know what burdens others are carrying, they can't know what's weighing on me either. So when I'm stressed and others request -- I try to pause, take a breath, and have a micro meditation before responding.

#MindfulnessMonday -- Half a glass of water is deeper than it looks. It's not just half empty or half full — it's both at the same time. Clarity comes from seeing what’s missing and valuing what’s there — then deciding what to do next.

Grateful to share the field with Rafael Hernandez, Penny Powell, Beth Stauffer, and Doug Williams as this year’s Eminent Faculty Award recipients during the UL vs. Texas Tech game. The night honored our military and veterans—and ended with a Cajun win. #GeauxCajuns

Honored to be part of this year’s Leadership Louisiana class. It’s been an incredible journey learning about our state’s regions, industries, and people. Grateful for the lessons, the friendships, and the hope that comes from seeing so many committed to building a better Louisiana.

Politicians, You were elected to represent—not to rise in the ranks or chase approval. Lead with courage. Serve with purpose. Put people—put humanity—first. Start with your district. Then your region. Then your country. That’s how real change begins. #LeadWithIntegrity #ServeThePeople

#Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom delayed is freedom unheard. In 1865, news of emancipation reached the last enslaved people in Texas — 2+ years late. Without communication, there can be no freedom. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junetee... #FreedomDay #HistoryMatters #CommunicationIsPower #Equity
