Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Photo of a blue journal with gold lettering that says five year journal. There is a black pen resting on the cover.
I finally received this 5-year journal in the mail. Someone gave me the idea to use one as a gratitude journal. I want to be more intentional this year in recognizing the good in every day and my achievements. I'm super excited to use it; let's hope it sticks for 5 years 🤞🏻

My January reads & listens so far. One of my goals this year is to reread at least two of my favorite books a month. This month I've already done three 😊
