My birthday is today! 🎉
Here’s 3 things you can do to help me celebrate:
1. Donate to a #getoutthevote effort
2. Give #cash to someone living outside/someone who needs it
3. Share a memory from our time together or an intention/blessing/wish for me to carry into next year.

Mom! You’re a turkey.
Really?
Yeah, you’re smart. And turkeys are smart. It’s a compliment to call someone a turkey.
Well, I think you’re a turkey too.
[To all you turkeys out there, hope you had a great day! ]

“The Browns’ gave Lee the best Christmas present of all: An entire year’s salary so she could take time to write whatever she wanted.”
Unconditional cash.
As we careen toward end-of-year holidays - the power of cash to unlock creativity.
P.S. @ any of my friends looking for gift ideas for me ;)

Too many people’s lives, cut short, too soon.
Over the “thoughts and prayers” emails and posts.
This is a systems problem that requires systems solutions.

The last time I visited Israel and the West Bank, a scholar I spent time with said: “The true measure of a person, a people, a community, or a nation are the actions or inactions they take when they hold power.”
This is sitting hard with me this week.

To the unhoused person who crossed the street this AM to help me up after I bit it hard while on a run: I see you.
To the person who was walking on the same side of the street when I fell, yelled "You're a DRUNK" to the unhoused person, and then stepped over me lying on the ground: I see you too.
