Look at us. Still showing up. Still laughing through the wild parts. Still rising.

What would it look like if instead of moving fast and breaking things, we moved with purpose and care and repaired what speed left out?

Months ending in -ber are the best months. 🍂☺️

I'm a Marine who pushed myself to the brink for promotions — until I learned true leadership isn't about rank or title As a Marine, I pushed myself through strenuous physical tests for promotions. I wanted to be a leader, but I should've focused on personal growth.

"Promotions are temporary. Policies can shift overnight. But how you carry yourself, how you treat people, and how you face adversity, those are the marks of leadership that last long after a promotion."

Caregivers, family, friends, and everybody showing up for a loved one:

Remember to take care of you, too. #care

Walking in the rain immediately after shaving your head: v. cathartic. 12/10. Recommend.

#PluviophilesUnite #joy 🌧️☺️

Accompanying a loved one through care reminds me that the most meaningful data point is often a smile.

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” — Desmond Tutu

A life lost is not theirs alone. Even in difference, our humanity is bound together. To strike one is to unsettle us all. #Ubuntu

Your voice matters. And so does the voice of the one who can't speak it themselves. Remember to hold and protect it with care. #ElderJustice #DisabilityJustice

You are both the seed and the bloom, the struggle and the rising. With each trial, you return to yourself. Stay the course.

And try to remember: Detours are okay, too.

It's the little things. Truly.

How Huntsville, AL, earned the name “Rocket City” If you know a little bit more about space history or Huntsville history, the nickname makes even more sense. That giant rocket is the Saturn V, the launch vehicle that with a ground-shaking rumble and...

"... before the Americans orbited the Earth, before there was a NASA and even before Sputnik’s 'beep beep beep' shocked the world, Huntsville was the Rocket City. The nickname began as a novelty before the Space Age truly began." #HometownPride #RocketCity 🚀

Hot enough to fry an egg out here, y'all.

Remember to drink water, check on your neighbors, and share what you can (cool ideas: water, a popsicle, or a blast of air conditioning).

We get through the hard stuff when we do it together.

Stay cool, hydrated, and take care. 🙂

Born this day: a coach, a leader, a legend.

Happy birthday, Pat Summitt. 🧡💙🤍

Remember to be kind to yourself.

You deserve kindness, too.

The only female unit to serve overseas in WWII gets a congressional medal 80 years on The Six Triple Eight sorted millions of pieces of wartime mail in a matter of months but weren't recognized publicly for decades. Just two of the 855 women are believed to be alive for the ceremony.

In a sea of lost letters, they found hope. The Six Triple Eight’s hands stitched connection, and now, their legacy shines in gold. 💛 💌
