Sunset did not disappoint tonight
#Carrboro #NC
Sun setting over a lake lined with trees. Sky is still blue and sun is orange and yellow dipping just below the tree line in the distance with rays of light reflecting around it

In a world that feels increasingly crazy and chaotic, I'm more grateful than ever for the opportunity to pause, enjoy a change of scenery and take a deep breath.

Take time for self-care. Especially now. 💙

It's difficult to say how sad, angry and disappointed I am about the choices Disney is making. If you're feeling the same, I encourage you to tell them.

Plant a butterfly bush and then understand that this will be a constant distraction when you're doing yardwork. I'm not complaining. 🦋

IN AMERICA WE DON'T DO KINGS They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far.

Shout-out to Kenda Kist Jewelry in Raleigh NC for their VOTE necklace that contributed to the fight to protect voter rights during Jefferson Griffin's attempt to steal Justice Allison Riggs' NC Supreme Court seat.

Great article about Popovich. I agree with Steve Kerr 💯
We need more people like Gregg Popovich and Dean Smith in this world.

Coach Smith said
"You should never be proud of doing the right thing, you should just do the right thing!”
andscape.com/features/san...
“He was probably one of the first coaches of the modern generation to really speak out on politics and social injustices,” Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, a former Spurs guard under Popovich, said. “One of my favorite coaches is [former University of North Carolina men’s basketball coach] Dean Smith. Dean Smith in the ’60’s helped break down the racial barriers in the South by refusing to take his team to certain places to stay or eat. I think Pop is kind of in the Dean Smith mold of seeing the bigger picture beyond sports. Those are the coaches who really stand out to me.”
