Who do you think deprioritized it?
Barack Obama made a promise to the people who voted in huge numbers for Hillary Clinton to pass health care legislation. That was one of his heaviest political lifts. It cost him his supermajority. But lots of people have health care today. Stop blaming him.
You know I have to say... I came back to following your Tweets because you said something here that really struck me. You said you got depressed when you started your day with social media, but when you remembered to start your day w the ACIM Lesson, it went so much better...
... that message helped me to change my morning priorities. I mean it took a little time but I'm doing The Lesson first now. When I do that sometimes I can't believe you and I are reading the same book. I say this with deep love and respect, from a longtime reader of yr work.
Today's lesson says "Love cannot judge." It's right there in the book. You understand that book better than almost anybody I know. This is what baffles me about you. I can't understand how you retain these blind spots.
