Keith, thank you for your thoughtful words. This storm reminds me of what ancient sailors did when they faced the brutal winds, freezing temperatures, and treacherous seas of Cape Horn. They didn’t confront the storm head-on but leaned into their resilience, sailing forward by crossing over and over again—one tack after the other.
Relentlessly, they adjusted the beams and sails, often chaining themselves to the rigging—and sometimes to each other—so they wouldn’t be thrown overboard. It was a testament to their determination, their courage, and their belief that they could endure and navigate through to safer waters.
As we face our own storm, let’s embody that same spirit—steady, relentless, and united on both side of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Together, we’ll find our way forward, no matter how fierce the winds.
Jay, this is a moving tribute to the humanity of our outgoing administration. Thank you for putting it into words! 💚
And I appreciate the photos of Monty! While I am terribly allergic to cats, I’m nonetheless drawn to Monty’s lively spirit. Please continue to share him with us (if he chooses).
Lori, thank you so much for your kind words—it means a lot to know this tribute resonated with you. 💚
I’m so glad you appreciate Monty! He truly has a lively spirit, and I’ll definitely share more of him (if he consents, of course—he’s quite particular about his audience). I hope his energy can bring some joy your way, even from a distance.
Take care, Lori, and thank you again for your thoughtful comment!
Great article, Jay. A lot of people in Ireland, where I'm from, have cooled off on Biden due to the genocide in Palestine, so feeling positive about him is frowned upon now. While this is understandable, I think he has shown steady leadership and has achieved many great things.
Susan, thank you for your thoughtful perspective. The situation in Palestine is understandably polarizing, and it’s disheartening to see how such tragedies shape global opinions on leadership. That said, I appreciate your recognition of Biden’s steady leadership and accomplishments, even in the face of such complexities. Balancing empathy with progress on multiple fronts is no small task, and it’s important to hold space for both accountability and acknowledgment of positive strides. 🌍✨
Thank you, Stacey, for your heartfelt response. I completely understand the fear of what lies ahead—it’s a sentiment many share right now. But in moments like these, expressing hope, resilience, and gratitude for steady leadership can help ground us. Your kind words truly mean the world to me. Sending strength and solidarity your way. Ox 💛✨
Jay, thank you for your beautiful words of support and encouragement as we head into this massive storm front here. 💔
