My Fireglow

We bought the health insurance. $844 a month, for two of us, where you get to select your doctor, is actually a great price in the US. Lower income = lower price on the market, higher income = higher price. 

I took a walk to emotionally regulate afterwards and it worked. 

This morning my business partner and I had two meetings and invited two people to join us and, again, they said yes! 

My comms director updated the website to include text on the services. I just love what we’ve created. 

Tomorrow we have a “staff meeting” of the core folks. I want to update our first people on what we’ve been doing and all the people who will be “coming aboard.” Later we’ll have a meeting inviting EVERYONE to introduce themselves. 

USAIDstopwork.com says 19,519 American jobs were lost with the shut down of USAID and 233,818 global jobs were lost. This evening I was on LinkedIn for a couple of hours looking for jobs to apply to. So much trauma. People aren’t finding work and their sense of self, because they are not working, they are not supporting their families, and because they were driven by the mission, is suffering. 


Thank goodness for my business. Whenever I’m too sad it cheers me up. 

Ukraine’s domestic security service said it destroyed a Russian jet fighter and damaged four other military aircraft during an overnight drone strike on Russian-occupied Crimea.

The Netherlands is the first country to buy US arms for Ukraine under Trump’s new plan. They are donating €500 million to the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List plan. 

“Ukraine’s Security Service struck an airfield in Saky in annexed Crimea overnight on Monday, hitting five fighter jets, which Russia uses for its regular attacks on Ukraine.”
