Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

It’s a scary day. If you’re an empath, have a religious or spiritual practice, even if you don’t — take even 3 deep breaths, followed by long exhalations. Sit in stillness, even for 5 minutes. Observe your thoughts. You’re still here. Breathing, as well as people who love you and all of humanity.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.
