“I believe that appreciation is a holy thing--that when we look for what's best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we're doing what God does all the time. So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something sacred.”

The #DeathPenalty is always inadmissible, because it attacks the inviolability and dignity of the person. I appeal for its abolition in all countries of the world. We must not forget that a person can repent and change, even up until the very last moment of their life.

Yes, my friends, it is that time of year: the leaves begin to change colors, the temperature cools and the time-honored tradition of rooting for your favorite chonky bears at @KatmaiNPS begins.    Voting for #FatBearWeek starts today: fatbearweek.org

“Please think of the children first. If you ever have anything to do with their entertainment, their food, their toys, their custody, their child care, their health care, their education—listen to the children, learn about them, learn from them. Think of the children first.”

I know I'm posting a lot of incredible women at the Olympics, but please remember that you are also incredible in your own right and that small wins are wins too. You don't need to be the youngest medalist or fastest runner, you just need to be you!! I am really proud of you.

Texas may lead the nation in many ways, but we are failing women. 46.5% of our state is considered a maternal care desert, compared to the 32.6% nationwide. Next session, the #txlege must prioritize policies that improve access to the full range of women’s healthcare services.
