Just a Colorado girl who got here via Jersey and Florida. Hoping for the next 4 years to pass in a blink (and I don’t wish away my life lightly).

This gave me goosebumps.

“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.

A man came up to her and started talking to her.

A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”

How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!”

We need each other.

Appreciate this. Pinned and paying it forward.
Hi new Bluesky users. Semi-annual reminder to follow my favorite part of this website: the Gift Links feed.

It shows any free link to an otherwise paywalled article that’s shared by anyone on Bluesky. It has legit changed how I read the news.

“Yesterday I visited my son's school and I saw a bright colored bench in the yard. I asked if it was new.

He said to me, ′′no, that's the ‘friend’s bench.’ When someone is down, they'll sit there so others find them."

To me, that’s how finding Bluesky feels.

Follow us if you’d like a friend! 💙

Because I wanted my first post to be a great memory….Tom Petty at Red Rocks in 2017. When our country was still sane.
