Love A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life.~ Christopher Germer Christopher Germer Clinical psychologist (Unknown-present) Psychologist Christopher Germer was introduced to the concept of radical self-compassion in the early 2000s while searching for solutions to his public speaking anxiety, which led him to explore Sri Lankan mindfulness meditation. Germer turned his studies of self-compassion into a popular training program and book, “The Mindful Path to Self-Compassion.” The 2009 book compares practicing emotional self-compassion to, say, bandaging a cut finger. This quote from the book summates Germer’s entire thesis: Being patient, considerate, and gentle toward oneself not only has the ability to turn a bad day into a good one, but it also holds the power to completely transform your life and your relationship to yourself and the world. In Germer’s own words: “Freeing yourself from the trap of destructive thoughts and emotions … can boost your self-esteem from the inside out. Self-compassion is the foundation of compassion for others.” Mary Live long and prosper

Happiness It’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will. ~ Lucy Maud Montgomery Lucy Maud Montgomery’s 1908 novel “Anne of Green Gables” follows the life of a young girl who has ample reason to be pessimistic, yet she continually finds ways not to be. After growing up in an orphanage, Anne is adopted by a pair of siblings who had intended to adopt a young boy to help out on their farm. In the book’s fifth chapter, one of the siblings is driving Anne back to the orphanage when the young girl muses on her decision to focus on the drive’s pleasantries, such as blossoming wild roses, instead of her gloomy destination. Anne’s persistent optimism is a helpful reminder that we have more control over how our reality affects us than we may think. Though it takes some concerted effort, we have the choice to focus more on what lifts our spirits than what causes distress. Mary Live long and prosper

When a seer of the city asks him to speak about love, the prophet responds with these words. His advice reminds us that cultivating love takes time and effort.

From: Sharon Pohlman Did ‘American Idol’s John Foster See the Winner in Ryan Seacrest’s Envelope? He Responds Alyssa NorwinMay 19, 2025, 8:55 am Jamal Roberts and John Foster were the final two on Season 23 of American Idol, with the winner announced during the live Sunday, May 18, finale. Ryan Seacrest was standing next to the final two contestant on stage as he announced the results of the nationwide vote. John was directly next to Seacrest, while Jamal was on the other side of John. As always, the longtime host took a dramatic pause before saying the name of the winner, but he opened the envelope shortly before making the announcement. John seemingly had a disappointed look on his face before the winner was revealed, leading fans to speculate that he saw what was written in the envelope first (Jamal was named the winner of the season, with John finishing as runner-up). TV Insider caught up with John after the finale and he said he “barely” noticed what was written in the envelope. “I was in a total blur,” he shared. “I knew I was at peace with being runner-up. Jamal is such an incredible performer. Plus, there were iconic performances from various artists, including all three Idol judges. John received a ton of support online, with fans raving that he’ll still have a big career, despite coming in second place on the show. “Congratulations to John Foster! We think you’re a great American and we love your music. I’m sure his career is about to take off,” someone said, while another added, “So proud of John Foster even though he didnt win Definitely made Addis, Louisiana and all of West Baton Rouge proud!” –Reporting by Michael Maloney Mary Live long and prosper
