I am shocked and so, so upset by the news of Leslie Jordan passing away. He really felt like a friend, didn't he? He put a smile on so many faces that thought they no longer had a reason to, ever again. Why does it always have to be the golden souls, Lord?

As soon as I wake every morning, I remind myself that all human beings are the same as me—we all want to be happy. I resolve to use my life to ensure that other beings are happy. It’s compassion that brings about peace of mind, not anger and hatred.

Ha! I’ve been told I’m just not an artist. But like, a backup singer or something. But what do I know? Just been doing it 33 years.
One prominent figure I met in the music biz told me in 2002 to "not quit my day job." I'm so happy I didn't let him decide my future for me. 😎

I LOVE THIS. I did it one year and had the meat sweats for a week. 🤣🤣🤣
Judging #TheJack today with @JimCantore down here in Lynchburg. Hope the pit masters are ready for us. 🍖
I want to be invited, but, and I cannot stress this enough, I do not want to go.

Legends only.
Loretta Lynn contributed enormously to the world of Country Music. All of us adored and loved her. 💜

Today is a great day to start saving your energy for endeavors that count.

If you're waiting on others to approve or validate your work, you'll be waiting a lifetime. And life is short. So just skip the approval and go ahead and make the record.

I wrote a song a few weeks ago that really excited me. Probably best one I've written top to bottom in a long time. Sent it to a handful of folks. Heard nothing back. Does this me the song is bad? Nope. Does this mean I need to quit now? Nope. Would I care if it did? NOPE.

I hit my 7 year post-op mark in 2022. It’s time to release the ridiculous shame I felt during one of the scariest and hardest seasons of my life. I still fight it. Shame no more! I’m resilient. I’m proud. I’m healing. And I’m HERE! 🎉 #cushings instagram.com/reel/CiS36Lhrx…

The passing of Bernard Shaw brings to mind what a good man and accomplished pro he was. A pioneer who helped cut a trail for other Black journalists in TV news. Knew him well, admired him much and have many fond memories that will endure. Rest In Peace, Bernie. You earned it.

You bad, Dan! 😂😂
As others have noticed, can we talk about the carpet of Mar-a-Lago? Should that be added to the list of crimes?
So many people have gone off the deep end of conspiracy and misinformation. Truly scary what some folks believe. People I know didn’t used to be this way. 👀🥺🤯😳

The foundation of my childhood continues to crumble… 😭😭😭😭
