It has been said in some liberal circles that voting is like driving a car. D is for going forward, and R is backwards. Are you going watch our world descend further into a swamp of ignorance, distraction and trivia? https://www.vote.org/voter-registration-deadlines/
We humans are storytellers, but if the story in our head is “I am late, wrong, behind, broken.” That story quietly dictates every choice we make.
When we switch to a different internal script, “I am exactly where my next chapter begins” our brain relaxes. Shame eases. Curiosity finally has room to breathe. That change of story doesn’t erase real limits. It simply moves the spotlight from regret to agency. From “too late” to “from here.” And that’s where, according to her, the best stage of life sneaks in through the side door.
Charlie Brown once anchors the real reason. In the Peanuts special, the gang heads to their celebration while Charlie Brown stays behind to finish a report. The moment underscores a familiar truth: celebration fades, but time spent reading and writing often lasts longer.
A 255-page transcript of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s testimony to Congress was released publicly on New Year’s Eve, revealing sweeping conclusions about former President Donald Trump’s
Is kindness the quiet substance and the key to survival? Democracy isn't a spectator sport. Whenever government invokes to override rights by setting dangerous precedents, we can't just watch. We must act and speak our minds at the ballot box by voting. The Republican-controlled branches of government now look like a collapsing theme park of self-delusion: rides stuck midair, warning lights ignored, and funhouse mirrors so warped reality can no longer be found.

Why did Alec Acosta's office enter into negotiations with Jeffrey Epstein about a plea agreement in August 2007? Then, on September 24, 2007, Epstein was reportedly allowed to sign a non-prosecution agreement, a day before the prosecutor in the case was prepared to indict him. Over the subsequent months, Epstein sought to negotiate the terms of the agreement and pressured Acosta to remove Marie Villafaña, the prosecutor on the case.[26] In 2008, as U.S. attorney, Acosta approved a federal non-prosecution agreement with Jeffrey Epstein. This secret agreement would later be unsuccessfully challenged in court for violating the Crime Victims' Rights Act, as well as be cited as a defense in the case of Ghislaine Maxwell. Epstein got leniency. His associates got immunity. Power networks got silence. Institutions got covered. And survivors were told, implicitly, that their suffering was less important than stability at the top.

Messiah is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel. The text was compiled from the King James Bible and the Coverdale Psalter by Charles Jennens. It was first performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742 and received its London premiere a year later.
Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s prerequisite. A depleted person has nothing to give. The Stoics understood this clearly: self-mastery comes before all other achievement. Discipline the morning, train through discomfort, examine daily habits, focus only on what you control, and treat obstacles as fuel for growth. These are not lifestyle hacks; they are foundations.
None of this requires special gear, expensive programs, or perfect conditions. It requires a decision. The same discipline the Stoics applied to life must be applied to mind, body, and character. Start with one rule. Build from there. Your ability to endure hardship—and to serve others—depends entirely on how well you strengthen yourself first.
We will continue to be here next year, God willing, just like we have for the previous 14 years.
