Two schoolchildren were having a conversation. One little girl said, "If you tell me the place where God is, I’ll give you this mango." The other one smiled at her and said, "I’ll give you two mangoes if you can tell me where God is not."
— Sri Swami Satchidananda, The Living Gita

Just heard about the passing of Chuck Norris.
There was a time when you could type “find Chuck Norris” into Google, hit “I’m Feeling Lucky”…
and land on a fake Google page.
Early internet magic.
RIP legend 💜

Big things coming this year with IKITAO.
Finished up work for the night. Spending New Year's Eve at home with Moxie—as it should be. About to curl up with a good book. 5 AM comes early.
Happy New Year.

Readiness is a discipline.
Year's end is a natural checkpoint. Check your bug-in/bug-out kits and EDC.
Keep them maintained. Keep them stocked. Keep them ready.

As someone with Native American blood, I can’t support the origins of Thanksgiving and the whitewashing of history... but I do appreciate any day where people choose gratitude, presence, and sharing what they have with others.
HAPPY GRATITUDE DAY.
