I feel like, unfortunately, it’s the only way to open their eyes. Money does matter & it matters to all.

The difference between now & then? Now we know the signs. Now we know what the outcome will be on this path. Now we can share the truth to millions within moments on social media. Now we know better. Now, what will we do?

Top 3 favorite things we did on our trip to Arizona:
-Grand Canyon, of course
-Petrified Forest National Park
-Walnut Canyon, Cliff Dwelling Island Trail

Sooo much more we want to see next time.

The moment we cross the line into Florida we get to see a guy run from the woods, onto the highway, almost get hit, then be tackled by a bunch of cops. Oh Florida. 🤦‍♀️

“Cats don’t like to travel.”

Tell that to Miss Jiji who will try to run out our front door to get to the RV.

The park ranger at the last national park we visited: “don’t get lost because we don’t have enough staff to come find you.”

I thought so. Thanks!

Going to Arizona on vacation has taught me that everything tastes better on fry bread.

Question for people in #Flagstaff, if I run into a mountain lion on a hike, can I do the slow blink & it will know I love it & mean it no harm?

The park ranger at the national park we just visited: “Don’t get lost because we don’t have enough employees to come look for you.”

Every day finding it harder & harder not to put curses on people.

I love the “call me when you can” texts from moms. It’s either something as simple as: you should try this recipe. or: so & so died.
There is no inbetween.

As someone with adhd, being able to use my Apple Watch to find my phone…game changer

I’m going to start using the instant replies on my Apple Watch when people text me & see if they notice.
You bet!
You betcha!

My husband watching TV: “He’s that titanic guy or something…Will Smith…”

It was Matt Damon, you guys. Matt Damon.

Please continue to post your travels, your books, your arts & crafts, your photos of nature. Don’t feel guilty about posting your feel good moments. We need those posts more than ever. We can’t let them beat the joy out of us.

When his crew realizes he’s losing power, they’re going to step back, pretend as if they had nothing to do with him; they’re going to toss him under the bus. When he goes down, they all need to fall with him. We can’t forget the many people who allowed this to happen, helped make it happen

Here’s what I worry about: when the idiot in charge is gone, we’re going to forget the many people who gave him his power, supported & even used him. What’s happening now isn’t a one person job. This is multiple narcissists, multiple sociopaths who are happy seeing us suffer if they make money

Maybe big name authors. I’m not 😐

Having a good agent is life changing. Having a mediocre or bad agent can not only stall your career, but even greatly harm it. Choose wisely.
