Reminder: the sincere love & grace that you extend to folks around you for their mistakes? For them feeling low?

That's good; the world needs it.
You know what's simultaneously true?

You get to extend sincerity of love & grace to yourself, too.

Because you, too, are deserving.

Chinese president Xi Jinping is going to eat Donnie's breakfast, I suspect. Trump underestimates Chinese pride and clout. This bully-boy isolation game ain't going to end well. #PrayForAmericans
