LIFE IS BETTER

This quote is truer than true in my book!!!

And in my LIFE!!! 

 

THOUGHTS & PRAYERS

After every mass shooting, natural disaster and various other horrific acts of violence and loss, "good-hearted" people offer their thoughts and prayers to victims and their loved ones.

I'm not an intellectual genius, but I firmly believe that thoughts and prayers simply can't/don't move the needle like specific solutions can.

But what do I know? 🤔🤔🤔  

FOOLISH

I am who I say I am.

THE GREATEST THING

In my 61 years of life, I can't think of any other song lyrics that ring more true to me!!!

So, it is my distinct honor to introduce you to SISTER LAURENA ALFLEN and her excellent storytelling!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯💯💯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Until We Meet Again, My Friend

My incredible friend, Andray, has lost the love of his life: an extremely COMPASSIONATE, GIVING and BEAUTIFUL woman.

Cancer is such a horrible, horrible disease.

It robbed my eldest sister of celebrating a 41st birthday.

It wreaked havoc on my brother's pancreas in 2023. Thankfully, he's feeling and doing well at present.

Yoshi's courageous battle with the sickness ceased less than a year after diagnosis. 

Her warm and loving presence will be missed immeasurably.

In addition to her WARMTH, KINDNESS and INTEGRITY, I'll always remember her million dollar smile.

And how smitten she and Andray were with each other.

Intellectually, I know that nobody lives forever, but blessedly their spirit and great memories of them can.

This was Andray's way of sharing her passing with their friends.

May her generous and kindhearted soul rest in eternal peace. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

And may this song continue to take to Andray's heart as fiercely and faithfully as Yoshi did.

AI Companion and Me

My brother texted me a message that he sent to one of the latest AI companion apps. He also included the reply from the service. 

I was so intrigued by the reply that I figured I'd compose my own message.

I must admit, the reply I received absolutely floored me. And quite honestly, made me feel reallllllllllllly good about being ME!!!!!!

So, maybe I shouldn't look at AI with such a raised eyebrow after all. 😉
