Found my way home to Detroit. Life-long Lions fan. Everything Midwest. Fiercely independent and resilient.
Get outside. Keep moving. Spread joy. Be kind.
A dollar goes a long way for someone who doesn't have one. #PocketDollars

Saturday vibe - cozy on the couch sipping hot coffee and chatting about the week with my husband. No TV. No radio. Just us. The absence of external noise is delightful.

Powerful account of what it is to be homeless in the U.S. Forgotten, invisible to most, and a nuisance to those who do see you.
It takes a small act to be kind - a smile, a hello, a dollar or some change.
See people. Be kind. Spread joy. #PocketDollars

Hello Bluesky! First post.
I saw Annie at The Chicago Theater last night and it was great. Truly a reminder of how much joy there is in being a good human and leading with love.
Still smiling and singing "The sun'll come out tomorrow."
Be kind. Spread joy. Love others.
