The Do Exist
I met a woman who said to me, “I do not have any social media accounts.” Wait….what…say that again… She has none, zero, not a single one. No Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok….not one. Think about your day-to-day life. How would it change if you did not have any social media accounts? I have…

Be Kind
One of the easiest ways we can be decent humans is simply by being kind. We don’t have to preempt kindness with any condition. Just be kind. If the recipient of your kindness is not kind in return, that is not your concern. Just be kind. If you can’t be quiet, be kind. Be that…

Dear Lord…make it stop.
Me: Oh God! What is wrong with people? What is happening to my children? This world is full of people who have twisted reality so much that the truth is hidden.
