I love everything about nature, from the skies to the dirt.
It reminds me to breathe, to notice, to keep growing.

- The disco balls are shimmering, flashing light in every direction and guarding the apples from birds, beetles, and squirrels. 🍏🪩 #gardening
- This is me everyday 😆
- She gets it, I’m cranky and tired too.
- To reduce hospital infections, a Jamaican student designed a self-disinfecting door handle for hospitals—powered by UV light. #GoodNews
- The Crow and the Pitcher is one of Aesop’s most famous fables. A thirsty crow finds a pitcher with a little water, but its beak can’t reach. Instead of giving up, the crow drops pebbles in one by one until the water rises high enough to drink.
- I’ve felt like that crow many times, tired, unsure how to reach what I needed. But each small step, full of grit and hope, helped the water rise: learning a new subject, earning a degree, finding a job.
- If you feel stuck, remember the crow. Even the smallest steps, one pebble at a time, can raise the water you need to keep going. Keep dropping your pebbles. You’ll get there. #AesopsFables #LifeLessons
- This summer marks the final season for our peach tree. After six years of diligent efforts, Neem oil and daily care, the peaches remain unproductive. Peach trees test even the most patient gardener. We’re replacing it with a fig tree, ready to nurture something new. 🌱 #Gardening
- Another favorite: CloudLibrary gives me free access to ebooks and audiobooks through my county library. It’s simple, ad-free, and full of good reads. www.yourcloudlibrary.com/en/home.html
- I use my local library for free access to thousands of ebooks and audiobooks through OverDrive. No fees, no ads, just stories. www.overdrive.com #library #books
- A little good news this morning. Scientists in Japan have developed a non-toxic plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours. This is a game-changer for our oceans! #GoodNews 🌊♻️
- “We are the ones who have our children in cages.” This track is not entertainment; it is truth. Laborers, caregivers, the backbone of the economy—they have been criminalized, dehumanized, and disappeared. This is a protest in rhythm. Listen:
- Within us, strength, patience, and passion reside, even now.
- Something to make you smile 🥰 Kindness still exists in this world.
- The peaches made it through but now flea beetles are leaving tiny holes all over the leaves. Looks like it’s back to neem oil, early mornings, and spraying under every leaf. The fruit is safe. Now it’s the leaves’ turn. 🍑
- The pomegranates are finally growing by the dozens! ✨ After years of squirrel theft, our miniature schnauzer has taken on the role of garden police. Turns out, all this tree needed was a little sunshine, water, and a tiny dog with a loud bark and fast legs. 🐶 #gardening

Some folks argue to exhaust you, not to understand you. You’re allowed to step away with your integrity intact.
