Before you ask why storm victims didn’t evacuate despite warnings of an approaching hurricane, please consider that many folks don’t have cars, have no family or friends to stay with, can’t afford gasoline or hotels, don’t dare risk losing their jobs if they can’t return in time, can’t safely evacuate their elderly loved ones, won’t leave without their pets, or have legitimate health concerns about staying in shelters. Poor shaming them during and after a catastrophe is not a good look. #Helene

Election officials are your friends and neighbors; we struggle to keep deer out of our gardens, we coach your children's teams, volunteer at the senior center, grouse about tax rates, and sit across the aisle from you at Church.
Election officials take their responsibilities very seriously.
If someone tells you masses of people are voting illegally, they are lying.

Ikigai is a Japanese concept which translates to “a reason for being”.

Ikigai is found at the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.

In many people's worlds this simply equates to balance ... but Ikigai is more about purpose.

Finding balance is what ultimately ALLOWS you to more easily find your ikigai.

Ikigai is often considered to be the same in meaning as raison d'etre, which in French is - "reason to exist".
