I would love to hear your favorite moments, routines, skills, performances, or anything qualitative rather than quantitative, (in other words, not about over scoring) from this #NCAAGym season! Tell me what you LOVED, made you feel good, and/or look forward to at Nationals! Let's get a thread going!

I can no longer work beam, much less feel comfortable on one, but that feeling of being centered, grounded, calm, aggressive, firm but fluid and prepared to adjust remains. I can feel its straightforward path and its precarious edges. The apprehension. The serenity. Life is a balance beam.

Dear America,

What a dystopian nightmare. My heart goes out to all the federal agencies and government workers whose public service, lives and their families' lives are being carelessly, recklessly, dangerously, ILLEGALLY dismantled by our "dear leader" and his evil "genius."

I am also very, very happy to be retired! Time with my husband is precious and sweet, and Finneas, our new puppy, really was the "missing piece." Our nearly 19 year old cat, Willow, has a companion now, and we feel joy every day. It's a "10" from me!

I treasure the memories and am thankful for all of you out there in the gymternet. I miss seeing Bart each week, but our friendship and colorful conversations continue. I miss our broadcast team, gymnasts, coaches, seeing gymnastics, and all of you. You guys are the best!

Keep calm and beam on!

Thank you, Bishop Mariann Budde, for speaking human decency to power! You have an army of support out here.

Perfectly and prophetically (we hope) juxtaposed to the "I Have a Dream" piece of art is our dear friend, Marc Ross's painting entitled, "The Dreamer Awakes." Keep dreaming, keep believing, keep striving (and voting) for a brighter future for everyone, not just the privileged or fortunate few.

What did you do yesterday?

We celebrated Martin Luther King Day being productive (this art canvas photo of his "I Have a Dream" speech is displayed above our entryway) taking on an all-day project repositioning/rehanging our living room curtains 😊. It helps me get through hard days.

Well, what better day to begin "blue-skying" than Martin Luther King Day!
