When it comes to cooking, you can never have too many spices. It’s easy to confuse your preferred spice with another, especially if they’re the same color and jumbled together in the drawer or cabinet. To avoid this, take advantage of vertical space. Hanging a spice rack on your pantry door, or stick it on the wall inside. Everything will be upright, so it’s easy to see your go-to spices all at once.

We are blessed by God if we live to be seniors and have the people around us whom we love to share precious memories with.
In a culture that worships youth, that doesn’t believe in the social skills that lead to community and friendships, and in which we appear to have lost our moral compass, this piece encourages one that it is never too late to stop and smell the roses along the path of life.” — Pandion hailaetus

I love the Op-Ed section of the paper. I believe we all need to write at least one letter on something we’re passionate about in our lifetime. In saying that, I applaud this reader
Re: “We need women of color to lead. Here’s why some may choose not to,” March 3, Naomi Ishisaka: Women of color seek leadership positions fully aware of external obstacles: Sexism, gatekeeping, identity skepticism and more. What’s not fully anticipated is the unspoken resistance that comes from within. Neither loud nor obvious, but nonetheless real and perhaps the most undermining.
Quiet resistance is real, not from the opposition, but from those who say they want more women of color in leadership, yet hesitate to offer real support when one of us dares to rise. Ego, insecurity, scarcity mindset, whatever “it” is, is costing us. When women of color hold each other back, silently or openly, we all lose.
Can we move beyond performative solidarity and step into active sisterhood? Can we rise together, not quietly hope someone stumbles because of unspoken rivalry? We don’t have to agree on everything. We can still show up for one another.
The goal is more women of color in positions of power. To get there, we must confront the unspoken. By choosing solidarity over ego, action over silence, and courage over fear, we unlock the potential to build a future where young women of color see possibility, not barriers and where leadership reflects the full brilliance of our communities.
