Yes, your power is not found in your muscular strength.

No, it is in the incredible power of WORDS.

WORDS can hurt or heal and do everything in between.

And you can’t take them back.

Once they’re out there, they’re out there!

Yours can be WORDS of encouragement.

Or WORDS of condemnation.

Which WORDS will you use today?

The circumstances of our lives change every day.

On one day, there is good news every way you turn.

On yet another, nothing seems to be going well.

On a third day, it’s neither good nor bad, it just is.

So, regardless of circumstance, will you, can you bring the best of yourself?

Will you be positive when the circumstances are negative.

Are you a problem solver when you are confronted with obstacles?

So, the question remains, how well do you manage yourself?

Nvidia became the world’s most valuable company by selling the artificial intelligence chips that are used in enormous data centers.

Now it’s looking to put its technology in people’s homes.

The chip maker said on Monday that it had developed a new chip, called the RTX Spark, that will power laptop and desktop computers from Dell, HP, Microsoft, Lenovo and others.

The computers, which will be available this fall, are designed to run local A.I. systems that can sort through files and quickly perform tasks with more privacy and security.

Microsoft and Qualcomm teamed up two years ago to launch the Copilot+ PC, which it said would make it easier to find documents and edit photos.

But those computers have struggled to gain traction.

Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, said an A.I. supercomputer might become a common home appliance in the future, in the way that home theaters, large televisions, lawn mowers and dishwashers are not unusual anymore.

We can learn a lot from this little flower.

It’s both PINK & Yellow.

As you can see, the PINK & YELLOW parts get along with one another just fine.

If this little, delicate, muli-colored, flower can just GET ALONG, we can too.

You and I know someone who sows discord every day.

But, Americans have the capacity to just GET ALONG.

Like the little flower, let’s put our differences aside and just GET ALONG!

If not today, when?

There has NEVER been a time when the battle to keep families together is so fierce.

Think of your childhood.

The only people who influenced your thought was family, friends and classmates.

Not so today.

You are fighting influencers who can gain instant access to their thoughts.

Like it or not, as long as your child has access to a cell phone, YOU LOSE!

That’s why it’s vital that you know what thoughts your children are being exposed to.

In order to do this you must speak with them regularly.

All relationships today are more tenuous because of the interference of social media.

KEEP T THEM CLOSE!

I think it’s as simple as that.

Where is your focus? On you or your partner?

Many of us marry people who are quite different than ourselves.

I mention this because it’s important to know what makes your partner happy…

…it should be your first priority.

There is an old saying, “Happy wife, happy life.” It goes BOTH ways.

If our love is ‘GENUINE, it will not be difficult to know what makes our spouse happy.

For the most part, it is the little things that make our partner know they are loved.

The spouse that brings home a little treat for the other without being asked.

The spouse who cleans up the kitchen without being harrassed.

The spouse who leaves a “love” note behind for the other to find.

It is the little things, usually with no cost, that endear a spouse’s heart to you.

Kris Massey stood at a jeweler’s counter last month, hoping to sell a couple of her grandmother’s gifted pieces to possibly cover some bills.

Even though Massey, a 57-year-old nurse practitioner, makes six figures a year, her financial situation has grown untenable.

Years of fast-rising prices and a recent monthslong bout of unemployment had taken their toll.

She worked two jobs from 2012 to 2023, but a second job is not an option after extensive back surgery.

Her retirement was drained when she was out of work. (CNN)

People are really hurting financially!

We would think a nurse practitioner with a six figure income would be immune from today’s prices.

Not so!

A new editorial from the The New York Times editorial board is arguing that the United States cannot solve its housing affordability crisis without dramatically increasing housing production.

This would directly challenge decades of restrictive zoning policies and anti-growth politics that have dominated many affluent coastal communities.

The editorial, published May 18 under the headline “America Needs to Build More Housing,” argues that soaring home prices are fundamentally the result of a prolonged mismatch between supply and demand.

It’s particularly true in high-opportunity metropolitan regions that failed to build enough homes over several decades. (NYT)

BTW, the highest ratio of home prices to median income is found in San Francisco!

The ratio is 12.4 times!

David M. Solomon-Chairman, Goldman Sachs

In an opinion printed in the May 24, 2026 New York Times, todays title is from Mr. Solomon.

He feels A.I. will bring a “great leap forward for society.”

Will A.I. disrupt the labor market? Absolutely!

This transition, like other big moments in history will entail new challenges.

It is especially true as A.I. separates labor from productivity in magnitudes not seen before.

But, the U.S. has a long track record of creating new jobs from disruption.

Two examples are the electrification of the 1900s to the digital revolution of the 1990s.

Mr. Solomon doesn’t see any reason this dynamic will stop now! (NYT)

Let’s hope he’s right!

The goal is to shrink the number of steps for a user to complete a search.

That includes tasks like performing a search based on a photo or switching to Google’s AI Mode before asking a follow-up question.

Searches that involve questions based on snapping a photo or circling something on a phone screen are growing 60%, year-over-year.

Searches in AI Mode, or the version of Google tailored for back-and-forth interactions, have more than doubled every quarter since they launched a year ago.

AI Mode queries are triple the length of a regular search on average (CNN)
