February so far: Up-to-date Love
February is here and starting to swing with full force. The Oscars are tonight in the midst of the Iowa caucus results, and the New Hampshire caucus is right around the corner on Tuesday. With the jumble of news and notifications, here’s a quick recap on February so far. President Trump was acquitted of both articles of impeachment on Wednesday; he has since begun to fire impeachment witnesses he deems not loyal. Doctor Li Wenliang, the whistleblower for the Wuhan coronavirus died on Friday, February 7 from the virus. On Saturday a Thai soldier killed 21 people and injured dozens more in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. On a positive note, the Kansas City Chiefs won their first Super Bowl in 50 years.
Someone to be inspired by: Inspirational Love
With February being Black History Month, who better to look to for inspiration than Michelle Obama. With her book “Becoming” published in late 2018, we could all learn a thing or two from Obama. An interview from The Guardian sheds light on Obama’s motivations, family life and memories, her time as First Lady, and more. To get to know and be inspired by Obama even more, read her memoir, or listen to the audiobook version that won her a Grammy this year.
