I was afraid we wouldn’t get the rain we expected after yesterday’s ground stop.
It looks like they are making up for lost time though.
When someone says, no souls were lost, as in the case of the tanker hitting the cruise ship today on the Mississippi, does that mean they don’t believe in the afterlife?

My wife just sat on the tarmac after her flight arrival for 4+ hours.
She just got to a gate.
I bet she leaves her bag and goes back tomorrow. That’s gonna be another disaster.
Normally, I would be picking her up and would have been waiting that whole time. She was supposed to be home so early I couldn’t.
Car service for the win!

Calling a water heater a hot water heater is like calling a water filter a filtered water filter.

She should be a coach 💪
Three years ago, I started my first Twitter account 😱
I’d done marketing for other people and thought, hey, if I can do this for them, why not give it a shot for myself?
My first tweet got zero likes 😂
I had no idea where it would lead, but I kept showing up!
Looking back at the last three years, I’m pretty proud of what I’ve accomplished.
❤️ Built an amazing community and made some genuine friendships.
❤️ Went from being scared to put my face on camera to doing lives, creating videos, hosting Spaces, and now hosting my own podcast.
❤️ Became monetized on three different platforms.
❤️ Built multiple affiliate partnerships.
❤️ Earn over $10k a year through social media for three years straight.
❤️ Went through a divorce and started a new chapter in life.
❤️ Got my first job in over a decade, earned two raises, and I’m still with that same company today.
❤️ Continued raising three amazing kids who I’m beyond blessed to have.
But you know what? The biggest thing I’ve gained isn’t money or followers.
It’s confidence in myself 💪🏼
I’ve learned that showing up matters, even when nobody seems to be watching.
Social media has given me an opportunity to do something I really love. Create, connect with people, and hopefully make a difference in someone’s day.
Maybe something I create inspires someone else to try. Maybe something I say helps someone who’s having a rough day. Maybe it’s just making someone laugh when they need it!
You just never know who might need you to show up.
I still have plenty to learn, plenty of goals, and plenty of days when life isn’t easy.
But three years ago, I took a chance on myself, and I’m so glad I did.
Don’t give up on yourself just because you can’t see where it’s all going yet 🎯
I’m still writing my story, and I have a feeling my future self is going to thank me for not giving up ❤️
My great great great grandfather is the earliest known service member in our family.
He was in the Union Army.
An unarmed non-combatant. Probably wise.
