A little mantra for anyone who needs it today. 💕
Say it out loud...let yourself hear it & believe it!

I am [your name].
I am not a mistake.
I am loved.
I have value.
I don’t need to be perfect to be worthy.
I make the world better just by being in it.

Another background actor brought in these colorful flowers from her garden: zinnias, dahlias, black-eyed susans. She wanted to thank the hair lady for working so hard to create a gorgeous bun 6 days in a row.

Heard this song on the radio today & it moved me all over again. I hope we all can swing from the chandelier tonight with our headphones turned way up!

Met a 9-week pit bull pup named Cairo on set. Friendliest little guy—wagged nonstop while we all petted him. The puppy in the pic could be his twin. Dogs prove kindness always comes back. ♥︎🐾

Starting the week with carbs and joy. In that order. Science says pasta makes you happy. As if we needed science for that. Abbondanza! 😏

Learned the hard way with a hair color you mix with water. NASTY DYE! 😖

Here’s how I finally got it to let go — just repeat every few days, using regular shampoo in between.

Putin & Russia stole Ukraine’s land and won’t leave. Now Trump wants Zelenskyy to negotiate? That’s like squatters taking over your house & you’re told to bargain to get your property back. Zelenskyy, stay strong!

#Europe #Putin #Russia #StandWithUkraine #Ukraine #UkrainianView #US #USA #Zelenskyy

Zelenskyy rejects Trump's proposal that Ukraine could swap territories with Russia

"Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier," Zelenskyy said in a Telegram message early Saturday.

Found this vintage blue water pump at Fullersburg Woods drowning in forest green last Saturday. I had to stop & take a picture.

Marc & Epic. Named for Marcus Aurelius & Epictetus. One quotes Stoicism, the other eats crayons. Clyde the cat? Still judging. More musings when inspiration strikes. 🧒🏽🧒🏿🐾

Remember when we only had a global pandemic to worry about?

Now it’s:

• Donald Trump
• End of birthright citizenship
• Epstein files
• MAGA run amok
• Mass deportations
• Tariffs causing inflation

Those were the days.

Here's a tip for younger employees.

HR is not on your side—they’re not even neutral. They work for the company that pays them. Their role is to protect the business & ensure it follows employment laws, not to advocate for workers in disputes.
