Matthew! My son Grayson and I read Rumple Buttercup every night - we love it! My son, who is 4 years old, has it memorized and I never tire of reading it! Thank you for the gift of this magical book! @GUBLERNATION

44% of all American workers can barely make ends meet, earning $18,000 a year. Anyone who thinks this is a good economy might want to rethink the word “good.” In the richest country in the world, that statistic isn’t good – it’s shameful.

Today we honor Garth Reeves Sr., owner of the Miami Times, one of the oldest & most acclaimed Black newspapers in the US. We rely on the Black press to tell our stories and uplift our community. #RestInPower #BlackExcellence miamitimesonline.com/faith_family/g…

Best line of the night!

Every day that you are on this earth is a day to learn, to evolve, and to appreciate yourself. You're not broken. You don't need fixing. You are an infinite being with infinite potential. Why live as anything else?

That which activates you liberates you because it shines the light on what you need to know. Commit to the greater expression of you and watch what happens.

The truth is that you are already the perfect embodiment of love. It is who you are deep within. Each day you dedicate to your purpose, well-being, and fulfillment, you forge a deeper connection with the love inside you. #YouAreEnough
