Oops, just saw the post about doing it with joy and what makes you happy. 😃
How did you get over that block? I have something similar going on with writing and I’m desperate to know how to get back to loving it.
Right on. It’s why I need so many peppercorns these days.
I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers.
Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.
