Having been a long-time patron of the John F Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts, I am heartbroken by the desecration and vandalism (for that is what it is) happening now. "A society that forgets arts risks losing its soul." Thank you for speaking up, Mr. Palermo! #TheKennedyCenter #TheAtlantic

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center

I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

What a beautiful and sacred day walking with the Buddhist #monks for #peace. Start each morning with "Today will be my peaceful day." #walkforpeace2026 #WashingtonDC #Day108

Just finished reading "The #Fabric of #Civilization: How #Textiles Made The World" by Virginia Postrel. Amazing story of how #fiber is woven through advancements in #culture, #industry, #math, #science, #politics, #art, #technology, #economics, #banking, and much more. Highly recommend! #booksky 💙📚

Keeping him near me ... the top ring has my beloved's fingerprint etched around the band. It arrived the night before Thanksgiving although the delivery notice said it wouldn't be until Friday. I like to believe that he helped get it to me early. #grief #loss #miracles

My beloved Carl gained his wings on 8/24/25. He is now whole and healed and I am broken. Grieving for him is so much harder than caring for him. I'm so lucky to have found #truelove. We held hands every day since our wedding day. #Alzheimers #caregiving #stopalltheclocks #icarryyourheartinmyheart

Six #IRS Commissioners in less than 7 months; several who stood in the gap to #protectdata. Staffing down 25% due to #DOGE. Appreciate the leaders leading through this #crisis. How to effectively fund the govt when our financial agency breaks?! Read the NYT article. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u...

The worst part of being a family #caregiver is the feeling that you're all alone, and no one understands. But you're not alone, and the only ones who don't understand are the ones who have never experienced it themselves. It's time to make ourselves heard. open.substack.com/pub/thereali...

"Every Living Thing" is an epic history the #scientists who tried to classify, understand, and develop a #taxonomy of our world. The book covered many complex topics, including the distorted beginnings of #racism. Not my usual genre and I liked it. 💙📚 #biography #political #conflicts

My hubby loves people deeply and for life. Today, we had lunch with one of his favorite high school buddies. The picture says it all! What joy! I haven't heard my husband laugh like this in a long time. Then and now 💕 #dementia #Alzheimers #lifelongfriends #timelessfriendship #caregiving

Thank you! The pattern was mostly well-written but made a few changes. I have notes on my project in Ravelry if you're interested. For example, I didn't understand how the pattern wanted me to join the shoulder seams, but I prefer the Kitchener stitch. Here's my edits www.ravelry.com/projects/kag...

Enjoyed a fun morning at aquatic exercise. Hubby has fun "playing" in the pool and tries very hard to do all the moves. Love sharing these moments with him! Good exercise. Great memories. #dementia #caregiving #seniorfitness #FASTstage6 #LifewithAlzhimers

It’s an excellent documentary. Any caregiver can relate to the joys and challenges. It also gives a good review of gaps in the US health care system.

Love ❤️ this man who overcomes his disability to help. He can't serve VBS snacks this year but he willingly helped decorate. The theme is True North🧭. We made a tent ⛺ over one doorway and streamers over another doorway to represent the aurora borealis. #LivingwithAlz #caregiving #dementia
