Love & compassion are necessities and life is too short not to have fun. Blessings of Peace & ℒℴνℯ ღ
All opinions and photos are my own, (unless I repost yours, with given credit), so please enjoy! ღ
As we gather our thoughts in the days leading up to the end of 2025, we find ourselves at a sacred pause,a moment to reflect on what has passed & to anticipate what lies ahead. As we look ahead, I encourage you to carry forward only what holds soul and meaning—whatever lifts your heart.

Moving into the new year, I carry a deeper awareness of patience, of compassion for myself and others, of the fleeting nature of time and the enduring value of presence. #njspots #njbeaches

“I'm good now with gentle joy. I don't need bright, noisy bursts that dazzle the breath out of me. They are beautiful but fleeting. Give me the steady kind that glows softly and offers warmth to any passersby who need it.” #njspots

Tonight marks the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The Sun reaches its lowest arc in the sky, and darkness lingers longer than on any other night.

But this is not an ending — it’s a turning point. From tonight on, daylight slowly begins to return.

“JOY is finding the holy in the small and the sacred in the everyday.”
In busy times, when we feel scattered into many pieces, it's helpful to remember: we are always connected to the source of all wisdom and all love. In the midst of it all - wishing you a moment of harmony. #njspots

Don’t miss this wonderful newsletter by @roey.bsky.social
I learned so much!
@nwslsoccer.com
NWSL champ Jess Carter had strong words on the racist, anti-trans rhetoric targeting Black players.

“[I]f you're making these comments, it's probably because you're not beating them… Because if you were winning, you wouldn't care.”

I'm Curious: Changing Beauty Standards in Sports (Edition 37 - feat. Jess Carter)
This week, a soccer champ talks about beauty and Blackness. Plus, one old man retires, one old man unretires, and one old man forces the soccer world to give him an award.

‘And let there be Peace & Kindness & Love & Understanding & several mugs of strong hot coffee, (or 1 BIG one) before I lose it and go to the dark side.’😉

Sometimes you just need to run on coffee, cookies and good cheer. #december2025

The spirit of the season is closer than we think. It’s right here in sunrise, in the waves of the ocean, with every action of compassion, of empathy and kindness; right here in the midst of this precious day. #njspots

Somehow not the first time this year that a high-profile star athlete unretiring has put a spotlight on health insurance access.

Venus Williams said explicitly that insurance was a reason why she came back to play at tennis tournaments this summer. youtube.com/shorts/akZ70...

Not super surprising he would lose on his way out, since that’s common in the business.

But a bit surprised he tapped and didn’t just lose by passing out, to honor the fact that “never give up” was a catchphrase of his for most of his career.
John Cena's final match is his first tapout loss since 2004 against Kurt Angle.

A smile and a tap on the way out.

Give yourself permission to time out the world so you can tune in to your own life.
Practice compassion because this is the world you want to live in and show the same kindness and grace to yourself. #njspots #njbeaches

From Musk doing a Nazi salute on top of the Georgetown hoops student section, to invading the Yankees clubhouse, to the Jets donating to the ballroom, to taking over the World Cup, and now to having the Miracle on Ice guys in cowboy hats, Trump’s really trampling all the sports stuff I grew up with.

Let’s open to receiving comfort and joy through the beauty of nature. What catches our eye might be a loving message for us, no matter how small.

Spirit speaks in ways that only the heart can hear. If you can't hear what it's saying in this noisy world, make time for yourself.• *˚✰ #njspots

The apparent "High Impact Player" rules aren't the MLS's Designated Player rules per se, but having basically a two-tier labor system could cause some labor issues.

Tobin Heath & Christen Press laid it out well in my MS NOW piece last month, that it risks keeping other players from getting paid.
Both Press and Heath are absolutely not fans of the Designated Player rule idea that MLS uses to allow teams to go over the cap for a handful of players per team.

Hearing their discussion on it on the RE-Cap show turned me against it for NWSL, and here’s the explainer they gave me:
