Today it’s important to reflect on balancing our circle of concern with our circle of influence. There are some things beyond our control. And if we spend too much energy focused on those things, we won’t have the energy to make the impact where we are most needed and influential.

Furnace wasn’t blowing so I called for a quote they wanted 900 just to evaluate. Did a search for the symptoms. Motor was humming but not blowing. Internets said it was most likely the capacitor.

Two days later, I turned a 900 repair into a $10 order on Amazon and voila. We have heat.

I don’t think I’ve seen a pharmaceutical commercial that doesn’t include suicidal ideation in their side effects. Also apparently this isn’t a thing in Europe. (Pharma ads)

Someone recommended Bitter Root as a “if you liked Sinners, Bitter Root contains a similar theme of racism embodied by monsters” the story is great so far. I also recommend in the same theme N.K. Jemisin’s “The City We Became” and “The World We Make” and I’ll always recommend her Broken Earth Saga.

Purple and gold were the first colors to pop into my head when I read this question

7. What colors do you think of when you think about yourself?

SA I don’t have to elaborate. There is NEVER justification for it. You can kill someone in self defense. But violating someone’s body is never redeemable.

And that, my dear friends, is why they attack CRT. Racism as a tactic to push their agenda through has been incredibly effective.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket…”

Believe you me, I know how this feels. To have the plight of people with your identity ignored by the majority because it doesn’t affect them. I’ve used the “first they came for the communists…” poem far too often the past ten months.

My job as a parent is to nurture and provide a safe environment for my children to learn and grow and make mistakes. Definitely to push them to try their best at everything. And to be honest admit when I’m wrong. I didn’t come into parenthood knowing this but I’m a better parent because I learned it
