For years I’ve used Twitter as a way to grow, learn, and advocate for education and educators. I hope I can get that back here; that feeling of community and progression. #EduSky
Happy Thanksgiving!
What are you thankful for on this beautiful day?
I’m thankful for the love God shows me everyday through His people. I’m so rich in love and that’s something I don’t take for granted.

It took so much money, time, and effort for last night to come into fruition and it was beautiful. My mom turns 60 years old tomorrow and we celebrated in a glamorous way. I’m sore but oh what a time was had! 🥹🫶🏾😣

One is watching Boondocks and cuddling, one is on my leg asleep and snoring, and the other one is somewhere mad that he is not laying on my chest. 🤣 #dogsky

New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”
“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”
“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

My grandma passed last year and I absolutely regret not recording her stories before dementia set in. 😔
Please do it. Because I definitely regret not doing one for my grandparents.
also, this is my BHM reminder:
RECORD YOUR ELDERS' NARRATIVES & START A FAMILY ARCHIVE!!!

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”
Sound up! 🔥🔊

I get so excited to go to reformer Pilates. I don’t always want to go but I think about the 62 pounds I’ve lost and how flexible and healthier I’ve become and it makes me smile. I’m so proud of myself, y’all!

I did everything society told me to do — got the degrees, built the career, worked hard — and yet, I’m still one paycheck away from homelessness. This isn’t failure; it’s the reality too many are facing.

I can’t wait to get back on my feet financially and not have to ask for anything. It’s the people closest to you that treat you the worst when you’re low.

I hate asking for help. LOATHE IT. I’ll go for days without essentials just to not have to ask for help and when I do, I’m either ridiculed, judged, or told to “sell one of them dogs.”
I appreciate those who show empathy. This is a tough time for everyone. It’s a sad time.

Anyone who has ever applied for ANY govt assistance knows how difficult they make it to get help (regardless of who the party in power is)
This man is evil & uneducated about the workings of our government
The courts told him to feed Americans & he's refusing
Congrats on electing an unlawful liar

When I get frustrated about a topic like "Why do you have so many dogs?" I write about it & feel much better.
I wish people weren't so judgmental about the decisions I make regarding MY life.
"No man is going to want to be with you with those spoiled dogs." Then he isn't the man for me. Simple.

My dogs saved my life—past and present. Noah taught me love heals; Sassy, Brody & Onyx remind me it’s still true. Living with mental illnesses isn’t easy—but fur, laughter, and loyalty make the difference. 🐾 #mentalhealthawareness #dogtherapy #dogsky
