My New Year’s resolution for this year was to live 2025 like it was my last period that made a profound difference in my life and let me to the same place. “What have I got to lose?“ It led to an enormous amount of freedom.Thank you for your perspective.
That is such a powerful resolution—and such a bold, beautiful lens to live through. There’s something liberating about shedding the performance, the proving, the postponing. When we ask, “What have I got to lose?” we often discover the answer is: only what was never really ours to begin with. I’m so glad it brought you freedom. Here’s to more of that in every room we enter.
That’s such an honest and layered comment—and I hear both the personal and the collective weight in it. The fear of losing our teeth is so symbolic, too… a fear of aging, of power slipping away, of not being able to bite into life the way we once did. And the fear of losing freedom in America? That’s real, and many of us feel it—especially those of us who remember what freedom once felt like.
But maybe the antidote to fear is presence. Reclaiming whatever power we do have in this moment—our voice, our choices, our joy, our truth. Even if the world around us shifts, we don’t have to disappear inside it. 💥 Keep showing up. Keep biting into life. Even if some of us have to do it with dentures.
Ha! That made me laugh out loud—because same. If I misplace one more pair of readers or walk into another room wondering why I’m there… I’m gonna start labeling the furniture.
But seriously, the beauty of where we are now? We’ve earned a little forgetfulness. We’ve lived so much. And every time we come back to ourselves, even after a mental detour, we remember what really matters.
And today? Today is a damn good day to be exactly who we are. Marbles or no marbles. 🩷
Absolutely. What a beautiful way to say it. When our values are intact and graciousness is alive in us, we move through life with an inner steadiness that no one can take. That’s the kind of wealth that multiplies with age, not diminishes. Thank you for naming that truth so clearly.

I’m afraid of losing my teeth and lately, to be honest, my freedom in America.

What do I fear? Losing my marbles.
What day is it today?
