- Sometimes dreams really can come true. I have a meeting this afternoon with a publisher about the book I've been wanting to write. Please send some good vibes my way.
- Why didn’t anyone tell me that my forehead was so fucking big?!?!
- When I'm super, super stressed out, my psoriasis flares up. For almost all of my marriage, I had active flareups. It got so bad that my skin was often raw and inflamed, and it scarred my skin permanently. I had to try multiple medications to calm it down.
- After my divorce was finalized, and I began settling into my new life, my psoriasis went away. Like magic. But it wasn't magic. It was my nervous system recalibrating. Now I only get occasional flareups, and I know right away that I need to reduce my stress level.
- My point is this: PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU. Stress manifests differently in everyone, so please pay attention and take care of yourself.

- Love is not supposed to hurt. Someone who abuses you or treats you badly will keep doing it until you stop allowing it. You deserve a healthy love, so please don't settle for less.
- Good morning, cutie pies. It's a good day to have a good day. Don't forget: as long as I'm around, you will be loved. 💚
- Now, more than ever, you need to practice some self-care. Take regular breaks from the news and social media, read more books, spend more time in nature, make time for some exercise and meditation, spend more time with your favorite people, get enough sleep, stay hydrated and feed your body.

Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.

- I’m tired of this simulation.

- Good morning, friends. Please send some well wishes for my little house panther, who’s having surgery today. She’s the sweetest little thing.
- We’ll miss you, Catherine
- Reposted by MelissaWithin half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.

- Reposted by MelissaMy 7yo daughter’s best friends’ family fled the country a few weeks ago. Today she came home with a drawing of her and another friend blowing whistles at ICE agents. “We’re blowing the whistles and so ICE will go away and our friends can come back,” she said. I started sobbing uncontrollably.
- Pay attention to the people who cheer for you when things are going your way. Those are often the people who will stick by you when things aren’t so good.

- Unfortunately, not all days can be good ones. In order to appreciate the good ones fully, we need to experience the not-so-great ones. Today is not-so-great. These are some scary times we're living in. Be careful out there, friends.
- None of what is going on here is normal or acceptable, and I hope that nobody gets comfortable with it.
- Just changed my furnace filter. Is yours due for a change?
- Spending time here would fix me.

- During these scary and stressful times, please make sure you are practicing self-care. Make time for activities that bring you joy, try to rest and get enough sleep, feed your body well and take time away from social media.
- Don’t let your mind trick you into believing that you are unlovable.
- Reposted by MelissaAlex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him. The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/
