Pearly Young, 77, was killed today in #Buffalo shopping for groceries.
For 25 years she ran a pantry where every Saturday she fed people in Central Park. Every. Saturday.
She loved singing, dancing, & being with family.
She was mother, grandma, & missionary. Gone too soon 🕊

American adolescence is undergoing a drastic change. Three decades ago, the gravest public health threats to teens in the U.S. came from drinking, pregnancy and smoking. These have since fallen sharply, while rates of mental health disorders are soaring. nyti.ms/3OyQvp2

Okay, not doing SMART goals this year. The world's a mess. Time for FUN goals.
Flexible - Life happens, things change, goals shift.
Uplifting - Bettering myself isn’t a punishment.
Numberless - Life won’t be radically different if I read 29 books this year instead of 30.

Gabriel shared this photo from Arvin CA. The day he took this pic the temperature was going to reach 105°. If the grapes are picked while it’s too hot, the sweetness of the grapes are affected. Remember the work of farm workers when you enjoy grapes this summer. #WeFeedYou #Calor
