What an amazing, life changing gift. Jan. 7 marks my daughter's six year kidneyversary. Her 4th grade teacher donated her kidney through a paired kidney exchange, securing a kidney for my daughter and saving another life along the way. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your donor.

A kidney donor and her recipient. Kidney donor is wearing a t-shirt with a green ribbon that says "organ donor." Recipient is wearing a matching shirt with green ribbon that says "contains recycled parts."

Can anyone tell me what the white bird in this picture is? This is in Northern Virginia. I get red and yellow finches, house sparrows, cardinals, blackbirds, and blue jays. This is the only all white bird I've seen. He's been hanging out the last few weeks.The Merlin app can't identify it.

One of the artists who designs my book covers sent me these flowers. Why? Because I helped her son brainstorm and edit essays for his college applications. I wanted to help him achieve his dream. She is helping me achieve mine. This is what happens when you choose human artists over AI.

Each morning when I wake there is this fleeting moment of hope that somehow, miraculously overnight, someone with the power & ability to enforce the rule of law arrested those violating our constitution, human rights & laws. I fear it's a pipe dream. But still there is that moment of hope.

I loved working w/ The Author Buddy, specifically Rachel Christley of Christley Creatives. She designed my cover for Broken Promises. Great price and super accommodating. I plan to have her create new covers for my entire series. I highly recommend. theauthorbuddy.com

Federal employees, you type "resign" & there is a good chance you will merely be flagged for termination w/ no payout or benefits. Several positions are exempted & there is no budget to fund this buyout, so when Trump is blocked, he will have the info he wants on "loyalists" w/o having to pay a dime

Screenshot of Buyout Letter sent to federal employees showing disclaimer that exempts those serving in the military, postal service, and those positions related to immigration enforcement, and national security.

Federal employees should pay close attention to this part. If they resign, they may be told they don't qualify. Arguably, employees at DOD, DHS, NSC, DOJ would not qualify. Type "resign" and they can be flagged for firing w/o the benefits of buy out.

This is insane. Note the wording "shall." Shall is mandatory. In other words each government agency must identify corporations, non-profits, foundations, associations, and educational institutions with DEI policies the feds can investigate and refuse gov't contracts. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Heroes without capes. Two teachers saved my daughter's life in a paired kidney exchange 5 yrs ago today. We later learned two additional teachers were donors in that same kidney chain. Several lives were saved. www.kidneyregistry.org @kappy13.bsky.social #Teachers #OrganDonors #GiftOfLife
