This dog rescue had a slumber party night where volunteers got to sleep with a dog up for adoption!
This is the kind of place I’d donate my time and money to.
Slumber Pawty! 🐾

"It is in the midst of #change we often discover wings we never knew we had."
Wings are clipped by us, others, or naturally through loss/grief.
Feel. Deal. Heal.
Wings are like perennials. They can return for multiple years, providing structure and lower maintenance over time.
Thx for sharing the title of that book; it sounds like a nail biter and maybe a bit too much sadness for me now. What did you think?
This is sad and I hope we do not see storms like this or a cat 6
"I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things."

Thanks @IshDtax for creating this fun persona for me a couple of months ago. I used it to change my FB photo for the 1st time since my son Jason died 8/31/2020. I love it. It looks like me before my death streak began 6/11/19 and hopefully ended for a bit on 2/14/26.

Thursday morning thoughts 💭
"Gig worker #taxes aren’t for the faint of heart. Reporting can be complicated since you’re responsible for taxes that would normally be figured for you by an employer."Self-employment (SE) #tax of 15.3% is how gig workers pay into Social Security/Medicare. Income Tax is paid to IRS/states.
happy bday the iconic Maya Angelou, b.1928, St. Louis.
"The truth is, no one of us can be free until everybody is free".
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Happy Birthday Maya Angelo.

“By #perseverance the snail reached the ark.”
― Charles Spurgeon
The “corporate veil” won't save you. Employment taxes are treated as “trust fund” amount. The IRS can assess a Trust Fund Recovery Penalty against you, the business owner (or decision maker), making you personally liable for the unpaid withholdings even if the company is a separate legal entity."
Your heart cares; your mind is tired.
