It is a big day for nonprofits! 🚨 In December, most charities raise over 1/3 of their revenue with about 20% of that arriving on the 31st. That's today! ⏰ If you haven't made your year-end contributions yet, today is the day to do so. Happy New Year!🥂 #Nonprofits #GiveBack #CharitableGiving

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Why hello, Christmas! 🌺✨ I have had this Christmas cactus for years and blooming was rare. But when I was in Philly, it was in a perfect spot and would bloom over and over throughout the winter. Now, she is inconsistent. But what a joy to have several blooms this year. So festive! 🎄

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

From a distance, I thought this person was desperate for a happy hour martini. 🍸 Turns out to be a warning for an art exhibit. 🙃 #NationalLanding #ArlingtonVA #WashingtonDC #PublicArt

Drawing of a person climbing what appears to be a large martini and hanging from the rim. Warning says: do not climb on the roof of the modules and do not hang from the ropes.

Colorful, public art exhibit with ropes woven over a bowl-like structure. Two additional structures that look like small cabanas have the same colorful ropes in the background.

To pause and feel our in-breath and out-breath is a tonic we can turn to wherever we are and whenever we need it. Our calm comes from within, it is not found externally. Even in the middle of the flames we can rise free of burns and strong. 😊 #Cornwall #calm #peace #life #photography #mindfulness
