Who gave these parents a map?! 🦆 Crossing the street at UL today, caught a duck family heading out of Cypress Lake toward Johnston traffic. Quickly switched to campus tour guide mode and herded them safely back. Just another day at @ullafayette.bsky.social helping #parents and their kids! 🪶

@bsky.app Happy #Semiquincentennial! 250 years is monumental, but at 4 generations per century, we’re just 10 generations young. We’re still learning, growing, and finding our way. We celebrate our highest ideals while keeping history in view to build a better, wiser future. @america250.bsky.social

I found Batman, I mean Bruce Wayne's, I mean Batman's robot lawn mower. This is for real that's why I'm sharing the Walmart listing rather than just a photo. It's pricier than others but worth it because it is atomic rocket-powered and can do a 180 on a dime using a parachute deployment.

#MindfulnessMonday -- #Compassion is easy in calm. It's #courageous in chaos. If I can't know what burdens others are carrying, they can't know what's weighing on me either. So when I'm stressed and others request -- I try to pause, take a breath, and have a micro meditation before responding.

#MindfulnessMonday -- Half a glass of water is deeper than it looks. It's not just half empty or half full — it's both at the same time. Clarity comes from seeing what’s missing and valuing what’s there — then deciding what to do next.
