First released in 2006, “Christmas Is 4 Ever” by Bootsy Collins remains a truly unique and amazing Christmas album. Highly recommended! Put some funk in your holidays! Give it a listen. Thank me later.

Why does the President of the United States feel compelled to share his every thought and opinion on social media? Doesn’t serving as President keep him sufficiently occupied?

Here’s what classless looks like:

Mindfulness Challenge: See if you can "catch" the complaining voice in your head today.

Recognize it not as you, but as the voice of the ego - just a thought. The liberation is realizing you are the awareness observing it.

In a sit-down interview with Politico published on Tuesday, President Donald Trump declared the U.S. economy is strong and holds an "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus" (A+++++) grade under his leadership despite inheriting a "mess" from the Biden administration.

How would you rate the current economy?

Jounalists and media outlets are absolutely avoiding the topic. Why can’t the President stay awake? It’s a huge red flag.

I first read these thoughtful words by the poet Elayne Griffin Baker and found myself nodding like a bobblehead.

They made me think.

I find myself going back to read them again and again.

I’m still thinking about them.

Read them yourself and tell me what you think.

One last thought: generosity doesn’t need to be big or loud to matter.

Even a small act of giving has a way of shifting your day - and sometimes someone else’s.

If today simply reminds us to stay generous in the weeks ahead, that’s a win.

The secret to success is falling in love with the system, not the goal. Focus on the habits, and success will follow. A great reminder! 👇

Someone sent me this image in a text today.

WHAT DOES THE WORLD NEED RIGHT NOW?

It’s a great question, right?

What would your answer be - in just one word?

Me? I’m torn between “Empathy” and “Tolerance”.

But given just one word, I’ll go with “Empathy”.

You?

Historians will look back in bafflement not at the greed of the elite, but at the fervent loyalty of those they exploited.

The ultimate con isn't breaking the law; it's convincing people the poison is the cure.

Yes, a handful of senators capitulated.

But this isn't the time for "whatever will be."

This is the time to get LOUDER.

These challenges demand the strongest resolve. Let the anger galvanize, not paralyze.

Find your resolve and find your next step. Do not quit.

The Supreme Court on Friday night paused a federal judge’s order that the Trump administration must pay full SNAP benefits to 42 million Americans for November by the end of the day.

The Trump administration is doing everything possible not to pay SNAP benefits to the most vulnerable among us.

In the midst of all the current chaos and confusion, tariffs and inflation and suffocating debt, this is one story that is not going away.

Most people don’t see themselves as clearly as others do.

Even when the pieces finally fit, the mind can still whisper that something’s missing.

That’s the trick of self-doubt — it makes progress look like imperfection.

Don’t believe the mirror.
You’ve come further than it can see.

After all, a President must have a vision and priorities, right? So let's cut back on healthcare and cancer research and instead construct a big, beautiful, golden ballroom, right?
October 21, 2025 at 3:40 PM
There are no words.

Maybe that's why we're not hearing any words from anyone in the Senate or the House as we watch workers demolish portions of the East Wing to make room for Trump's grand ballroom at the White House.

Will he soon be signing and selling pieces of the debris on a website?
