Double roundabout tonight. Based on this, it’s a good thing I’m not a traffic engineer! 👷🏼♀️🤣

Did someone say Finnish? … Well, no, but that’s tonight’s language: vettä for water.
Any suggestions for tomorrow’s language in this month of water?

Tried my best at Hindi for water tonight: पानी. Pronounced: Paani or paanee.
Not skilled in the art of writing words in Hindi. In fact, this is the first one I’ve written in my life. I hope I’m close.

The journey to excellence starts with mistakes and mishaps. And when you reach the point of excellence, notice how it was less about getting it right and more about character/humility building from sucking along the way. #growthmindset linkedin.com/posts/employ-hu…

I’ve been preoccupied in the past with the idea of smaller paintings making up a larger one. Maybe that should be my June theme. Other ideas? … For now, here are ten in one. #watercolor #letterstomymother #dailypainting #art #create #imagine #painting
Big congrats to all the awardees! You are all well-deserving.
Congratulations to the 2023 NORDP Awardees! These fantastic volunteers are being honored for their service, leadership, innovation, mentorship, and contributions to NORDP and to the field of RD. nordpnews.org/2023/05/25/con…
Powerful, sobering, and inspiring!
Listening to Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, struck again on how prescient she is.

ALT 17. When stability disintegrates When apparent stability disintegrates, As it must— God is Change— People tend to give in To fear and depression, To need and greed. When no influence is strong enough To unify people They divide. They struggle, One against one, Group against group, For survival, position, power. They remember old hates and generate new ones, They create chaos and nurture it. They kill and kill and kill, Until they are exhausted and destroyed, Until they are conquered by outside forces, Or until one of them becomes A leader Most will follow, Or a tyrant Most fear.
The @NORDP_official sisterhood is real. What a joy and privilege it is to work alongside these two beautiful ladies to serve the RD profession and community in meaningful ways. @AnonDumboOctopi
