Primary Fallout. Trump Blows Up Housing Bill for SAVE Act—Because He's Focused on the Elections. DJT Thinks He's a UFC Fighter. Hegseth's Pentagon Purge Continues. Good News for Independents in DC.  Flu Outbreak Sickens Hundreds of Troops.  Mamdani is the new king of the Democratic Socialists, and he didn't get there by accident. He understood that closed primaries are a rigged game where the players are also the referees — and he played that game to perfection while more than a million New York City independents were locked out of the vote that actually decides who represents them. Paul Rieckhoff breaks down what happened in NYC, in Maryland, and in Utah, why Brad Lander worked so hard to kill the open primaries ballot initiative, and what the rise of the far left in safe-blue cities means for the angry middle that has nowhere left to go. From there, the briefing widens out. The Senate finally voted to check Trump's Iran war powers — with an asterisk worth knowing about. Hegseth forced the retirement of General CD Donahue, the last soldier out of Afghanistan, and the patriotic purged are starting to file for office. Trump botched a Medal of Honor ceremony, fixated on UFC fighters' muscles, and pushed a SAVE Act designed to scare Americans away from the ballot box. Paul also flags some good news: DC just funded open primaries, retired Navy Admiral Nancy LaCore won her South Carolina primary, and a six-tour combat veteran named Kate Connolly is coming for Mike Lawler in the Hudson Valley. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Visit Kalshi and trade on anything.

Margaretville Hospital has been a cornerstone of Eastern Delaware County for 95 years. During this time when rural hospitals are closing at an accelerating rate across the country, the hospital has new leadership and its parent organizations, Health Alliance of the Hudson Valley and WMCHealth, are standing behind this critical access hospital, expanding services and being engaged with the community. And the community remains key to the hospital's success in various ways, including supporting its fundraising efforts. For several years, the hospital has held an art auction that has raised significant funds for special projects, this year to support 2026. HealthCetera host Diana Mason, PhD, RN, talked with Michael Hochman, Executive Director of the hospital, and Emilie Adams, a doula and Chair of the Board of Directors of the hospital, about the hospital’s expanded services and the community’s support of the hospital through a recent art auction. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on May 27, 2026. The post Margaretville Hospital appeared first on HealthCetera.

Vicky Misner and April Brimberry are two registered nurses who work in this part of the hospital's services. They spoke with HealthCetera host Diana Mason, RN, about these services.

Reliability concerns keep power plant open, for now Danskammer Energy, which runs a gas-fired plant on the Hudson River in the Town of Newburgh that operates only during peak demand, and which the company hoped to convert to full-time operation, filed for bankruptcy on June 10. The Chapter 11 petition, filed in Delaware, says the company owes creditors $13 million, including $11.8 million to the New York Independent System Operator, which manages the state power grid, and $760,000 in property taxes to Orange County. Danskammer did not respond to requests for comment. The filing comes five months after the company requested permission from NYISO to close the plant, which typically operates for only 5 to 10 days a year during heat waves. In response, NYISO said the plant must remain available until at least August and possibly January, in part due to concerns that the state lacks sufficient emissions-free energy sources to replace aging fossil-fuel plants. It also cited "demand forecasts based on expected weather, expected generator availability, transmission limitations and risks associated with the availability of key future planned projects." The latter refers to an executive order, signed by President Donald Trump on the first day of his return to office, that halted the permitting process for offshore wind projects. After a court ruled that the order was illegal, the administration adopted a different strategy. On Wednesday (June 17), Invenergy announced that the administration would pay $765 million for it to abandon four wind projects, including one that would have delivered at least 2 gigawatts to New York and New Jersey. NYISO does have wiggle room. Earlier this week, New York State announced the completion of the 339-mile Champlain-Hudson Power Express, a transmission line between Canada and New York City that passes the Highlands beneath the Hudson River. In addition, the state dropped plans to close two barge-mounted peaker plants that provide up to 608 megawatts to New York City. In 2018, Danskammer said it would renovate the Newburgh plant for continuous operation, but community pushback led to a lengthy legal battle. In 2021, the state denied the plant the clean-air permit it would need to proceed, arguing that upgrading the plant would violate the state's newly enacted Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. It was during this time that Scenic Hudson released its own proposal for large-scale battery storage at the site to bring more renewable energy to the Hudson Valley. "We would love to see the dirty gas power plant get replaced with something that generates jobs and tax revenue for the town without also emitting pollution," said Stephen Ballentine of Scenic Hudson. The bankruptcy filing, as well as the state's recent relaxation of many of its climate targets as part of the 2026-27 budget, could open the door for another company to take over Danskammer and operate year-round. "I would imagine that it's still permissible for courts to reject applications based on CLCPA incompatibility, but we'll have to see how this changes things," said Ballentine. "That's part of the reason we were disappointed to see the rollback to the CLCPA."

Poy T. Granati of Summer Space Studio returns to Paper Talk Podcast for her third appearance, joining co-hosts Quynh Nguyen, Jessie Chui, and Sara Kim. If you have followed Paper Talk for a while, you will recognize Poy from Episode 8, where we first introduced her, and Episode 135, our Pinterest deep dive that is still one of our most referenced episodes for paper flower artists building organic traffic. This time she joins us from her new home in the Hudson Valley as a new mother. This conversation is the most honest one we have had about what it actually looks like to rebuild a creative business after motherhood. Poy walks us through the structural changes she made to Summer Space Studio: training two instructors to teach her workshops, narrowing her offerings to corporate workshops and brand partnerships, and using Pinterest batch-scheduling to keep her business visible during her hardest months. If you have ever wondered how to pitch corporate workshops as a paper flower artist, this episode is a masterclass. Poy shares the exact three-year follow-up email sequence that landed her a brand partnership with Hermès, breaks down the seven-follow-up rule, and explains how to tie your seasonal offerings to a brand calendar so your cold pitches feel relevant instead of random. She also gets into the corporate workshop markets most paper artists overlook: real estate buildings, breweries, residential properties, tech companies on LinkedIn, and team-building events at companies that have nothing to do with flowers. “I've been emailing Hermès for three years. Following up is the biggest part of not just getting clients, but getting comfortable talking about your offer.” - Poy The second half of the conversation moves to Substack for creative small business owners. Poy launched a new channel called Take Scenic Route, separate from Summer Space Studio, as a digital journal and creative outlet. She gets vulnerable about postpartum anxiety, the question she journaled at three in the morning that changed everything, and her dream of using Substack to build toward a tropical paper flowers book. Quynh shares her own Substack journey with Back to the Basic, and Jessie and Sara weigh in on how to add Substack to an existing creative business without doubling your workload. This is an episode for anyone in a season of figuring it out: new mothers returning to creative work, paper artists pitching corporate clients for the first time, and creative entrepreneurs wondering if their messy, unfiltered self is actually the version that connects. What You Will Hear in this Episode: Why time scarcity after motherhood can actually sharpen productivity and creative decision-making How Poy restructured her business to focus only on corporate workshops and brand partnerships The exact three-year follow-up cadence Poy used to land Hermès How to tie your seasonal offerings to a brand's calendar when cold pitching Why Pinterest batch-scheduling saved her business during early motherhood The two types of workshop clients and how to serve both How to use LinkedIn to find HR managers and book team-building gigs at tech companies Hidden corporate workshop markets: real estate, breweries, residential buildings, nursing homes Why Substack is a low-barrier alternative to Kajabi, Teachable, and Thinkific for creative entrepreneurs How to use Substack as a digital journal, blog, and newsletter without creating more work Why showing up imperfectly is the actual brand strategy Learn more about Poy In 2018, Poy T Granati founded Summer Space (translated as "a happy place") after completing her inspiring "100-days of making" project, where she crafted one flower per day for 100 days and discovered her passion for paper flower artistry. Since then, she has been dedicated to spreading joy through her exquisite and meticulously crafted paper flowers. The artistry of Summer Space has been recognized and featured on the Today Show and Adobe, and the studio has collaborated with prestigious brands such as Papersource, Helix Sleep, IBM, and Maman NYC. Summer Space is currently based out of Hudson Valley, NY.

We sit down with Mac Dorris, founder of The Ride for Mental Health, and call in special guest Wayne Stetina, Olympic cyclist and U.S. cycling legend, to explore how one deeply personal loss has sparked a movement of hope, healing, and action.The Ride for Mental Health is more than a cycling event—it's a growing national movement dedicated to ending the stigma surrounding mental illness and raising critical funds for research, education, and treatment. Since its founding in 2017, the Ride has brought together hundreds of cyclists, families, and advocates in the Hudson Valley and beyond, raising over $1 million to support mental health initiatives, including programs at McLean Hospital, a leading psychiatric institution.What began as a tribute has evolved into a powerful community—one that creates space for conversations, honors lives, and reminds us that no one has to face mental illness alone.In this episode, Mac shares the story behind the Ride, the impact it continues to have, and why awareness and connection are just as important as funding. Wayne adds his perspective from a lifetime in competitive cycling, highlighting the role of sport, resilience, and community in supporting both physical and mental well-being.Mac DorrisMac Dorris is the founder of The Ride for Mental Health, an annual charity cycling event based in New Paltz, New York.

Thom Francis welcomes Ulster County Poet Laureate Mike Jurkovic. Mike was the featured reader, promoting his chapbook Eve's Venom, at Poets Speak Loud on Monday, October 27, 2014. +++++ Poets Speak Loud was a poetry open mic series hosted by Mary Panza that began at The Lark Tavern in January 31, 2005 - the same night that that legendary local poet, environmentalist, activist, and “grandfather of the Albany poetry scene” Tom Nattell passed away. In 2010, a fire destroyed the longtime Albany establishment, forcing the open mic to find a new home. Not long after, Poets Speak Loud rose from the ashes and began its run at McGeary's in downtown Albany until COVID-19 brought the series to its end. Over the years many poets and spoken word artists from the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and beyond were featured at Poets Speak Loud. On October 27, 2014, poet and writer Mike Jurkovic took the stage. Mike Jurkovic was named 2025 and 2026 Ulster County Poet Laureate. He has published poetry, prose, and music reviews globally with little reportable income. Jurkovic's 5 full-length poetry collections include Buckshot Reckoning (Luchador Press, 2023), mooncussers (Luchador Press, 2022) AmericanMental (Luchador Press, 2020); haiku collections Monet's Bamboo (CAPS Press, 2025), and Blue Fan Whirring (Nirala Press, 2018). He is the president of Calling All Poets reading series, which is celebrating 26 years in the Hudson Valley. You can find his reviews online at All About Jazz and lightwoodpress.com. He hosts NuJazzXcursions every Monday night at 9:00 am on WVKR-91.3FM Vassar College.  Local poet Dan Wilcox posted on his blog about MIke's reading: Mike Jurkovic has been reading around a lot lately, promoting his new chapbook Eve's Venom (Post Traumatic Press, 2014), which I'd already bought, but it is always fun to hear Mike read. He began with some poems not in the book with minimal introduction, because his poems often tell a story, cynically pondering the world around him, such as a poems about being stopped at a traffic light next to “the dwarf Morpheus,” or “Crows Gathering at the Grey Sky,” or “Andy Martin's American Letter.” Then to poems from Eve's Venom, some read without the titles, …the hysterical “Bio-Hazard,” “Yearbook,” … In the past Mike would wander the room performing his poems, tonight he stuck pretty close to the mic, his poems doing the wandering.

My guest today is Cait Conley. Cait is running for Congress in NY District 17, determined to stop Donald Trump and cowards like Mike Lawler who enable him. Cait was born and raised in the Hudson Valley, graduated at the top of her class at West Point, served 16 years as an Army officer, and broke barriers as one of the first and only women in Special Operations leadership and was awarded three Bronze Stars. Cait's career as a public servant continued at home, protecting security and democracy while serving as Director of Counter-Terrorism on the National Security Council at the White House. She later helped safeguard our critical infrastructure and election systems at CISA, defending our democracy by standing up directly to Trump's big lie that the 2020 election was stolen.  Cait is dedicated to bringing dignity and courage back to Congress. She is fighting to lower costs, clean up corruption, reign in ICE, address climate change as a national security crisis, protect our elections and stop Trumps' unlawful and authoritarian agenda. I am impressed with her strength, courage and proven leadership and have been motivated to have as many people as possible hear from Cait directly, so they can make an informed decision when voting in the primary. Early voting started June 13th and the primary is Tuesday, June 23rd. This is a critical election, so please spread the word and get out and vote!  Check out the Show Notes for Cait's conversation with Ali Velshi on MSNOW as well as Cait's website. There you will find links to donate, upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. Enjoy the podcast! Links: Cait Conley's Website Ali Velshi-MSNOW

For nearly a decade, thousands of people across New York's Hudson Valley claimed they witnessed something impossible: enormous, silent, V-shaped craft drifting over highways, neighborhoods, and even a nuclear power plant. Police officers, IBM engineers, air traffic controllers, and ordinary families all reported the same terrifying sight. Were they victims of an elaborate hoax, secret military technology, or one of the largest mass UFO sightings in American history? Tonight, we investigate the Hudson Valley UFO Wave.   HAH DISCORD - https://discord.com/invite/bJdbpH3hQm   YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/@HauntedAmericanHistory   TikTok - @hah_podcast   hauntedamericanhistory.com   Patreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠   LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGH Barnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334 AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68S   Ebook GOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1   KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_   SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316   !!

Today on the show we are joined by Christie Jordan Barron, an educator, mother, mover, maker, and somatic experiencing practitioner based in the Hudson Valley. Christie believes deeply in our essential need for connection to our own hearts, to nature, and to each other. She is dedicated to holding space for people to sense into and stay curious about the various parts and pieces that make us all tenderly human.  Our conversation weaves through Christie's work, lived experiences and the deep wisdom she's landed on along the way. We learn about her work in the practice of dying and how that supports us through deaths of all types and the grief that often accompanies loss. She shares insight into community's role with grief and how that helps us in moving away from the expert paradigm. Her work as an educator has expanded to include sexual education, supporting youth navigating their relationship to their changing bodies and their autonomy. We talk about her role as mother and the complexities of what that surfaced for her. Our parenting conversation leads us to explore the balance between structure and freedom (masculine and feminine), and we spend some time talking about the challenges of navigating conflict and how to hold one accountable for their actions. Let us know what out conversation brings up for you!

What does it look like when someone turns a painful past into a global mission? Chason Forehand grew up navigating abuse and addiction, and instead of staying stuck in those cycles, he built something that helps others break free from theirs.Chason is the founder of HR-4U, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Hudson Valley, New York, with three programs: Advocacy for living wages and workforce dignity, Mentor for Good to help young nonprofits survive their first five years, and Transformation Kitchen, a culinary training program that goes far beyond teaching people how to cook. Participants become part of a family, with support, wellness checks, and community that extends well past the 12-week program.HR-4U is not planted in one city. They go wherever the doors open. They built their first Transformation Kitchen in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, and are now setting their sights on Australia, Canada, India, Costa Rica, Detroit, and the Hudson Valley, with a goal of 20 kitchens this year.In this episode, we talk about what it takes to run a nonprofit under a restrictive government, how Chason partners with existing organizations to stretch every dollar toward the people, why paying living wages is not just the right thing but a smart business strategy, and how you can get involved no matter where you are in the world.As Chason says, "We don't just flip eggs.

In today's edition of The Update Journal, we return to the CBS drama because apparently yesterday's “60 Minutes” story was not finished — it was just buffering. Scott Pelley gets fired, CBS somehow looks at one of the most respected journalists in the building and says, “You know what this newsroom needs? Less alarm system,” and Knicks coverage is partly responsible for why we had to circle back like a subway train skipping your stop.Then, Dunkin' enters its new $6 Meal Deal era, where breakfast has officially been wrapped, folded, and placed into witness protection until August 12th. The old deal is gone, the wraps are here, and somewhere a hash brown is asking if it needs a lawyer.And finally, The Last Word brings us The Calm Before the Real Summer Storm — that brief, suspicious window where summer is technically here, but the full heat, humidity, schedule chaos, and “why am I sweating indoors?” phase hasn't fully attacked yet. Enjoy the breeze while it lasts. It has terms and conditions.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, a massive fire tore through multiple buildings of a historic psychiatric facility in the Hudson Valley, wild footage shows. The blaze erupted at the abandoned Hudson River Psychiatric Center in Poughkeepsie, which was established in 1867 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 after closing years earlier, according to Pix 11.This nut didn't fall too far from the tree.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to many of the local events because of episode length and time constraints but we did get to a few of the leagues that the guys played in. We spent most of our time talking about Pyramid Quads with Jaimen, Randy and Corey, Corey also played in the Discmania Presents Sunshine Open at 501 and Mile Marker 63 - Powered By Abreu Karol and GMT. Tim pulled a Jay Gorsage and set up a Draft App so we could make picks for Minekill this weekend. Randy wanted to call the app #thirsttrapsofhvdgp but, as the guy who would probably say it the most, I vetoed that idea. We also got a sneak peak at the brackets for the Summer Battle Royale, if you're playing, it may be old news by now but it was still fun to go over the brackets. We finished it off with a round of Disc or No Disc and reminders to register for Minekill AM's, the HelderBERG Championships 2 and OKDGC Circuit Challenge. Support the showSpecial Thanks to our Patreon Supporters: Branden Cline, Tim Goyette, Peter Hodge, Ryan Nelson, Kevin T.

The healthcare system we've built is remarkably good at treating disease. The question is whether it's designed to create health. In this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare, Eric Glazer sits down with Dr. John D'Angelo, President and CEO of Northwell Health, one of the largest health systems in the country, for a candid conversation about what healthcare leaders may be underestimating about the decade ahead. Rather than focusing on individual trends, Dr. D'Angelo challenges some of healthcare's biggest assumptions, from the way we think about affordability, to the way we deliver care, to the role technology should play in helping people stay healthy before they become patients. The discussion explores why affordability may ultimately be a prevention challenge, how healthcare can move from episodic encounters to continuous health management, what workforce shortages mean for the future of care delivery, and why building the right digital infrastructure may be one of the most important investments health systems make over the next decade. If you're responsible for leading change inside a health system, health plan, physician organization, or healthcare company, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on what healthcare may need to become, not just what it needs to improve. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Dr. D'Angelo believes healthcare can't "cut its way" to affordability What a more proactive and personalized healthcare system could look like How workforce shortages are forcing leaders to rethink traditional care models Why continuous health may become more important than episodic care How Northwell is building the digital foundation for the future of healthcare What healthcare leaders may be underestimating about the next decade About Dr. John D'Angelo:  A physician first and foremost, Dr. John D'Angelo leads with compassion. With over 25 years of practical experience, he continues to transform health care operations with his recent appointment as president and CEO of Northwell Health, the Northeast's largest nonprofit health system. Dr. D'Angelo oversees a complex network of 28 hospitals and 106,000 employees, including over 1,000 outpatient facilities, 22,000 nurses and over 20,000 physicians with an operating budget of $22.6 billion. Northwell cares for more than 3 million people annually in the New York metro area, including Long Island, the Hudson Valley, western Connecticut and beyond.

Send us Fan MailWe all know that water is precious, and that the soil is important, but do we really know what happens when we take both of them for granted?  We should know our history, because the Dust Bowl occurred less than a century ago.  We might start treating the Ogallala Aquifer like the source that waters 25% of the agricultural production in the entire country, instead of like a drinking fountain in the school cafeteria.  We might also remember that conservation is self-preservation, and not just a hashtag.As the Dust Bowl has shown us, soil and water and the interactions between the two are critical.  Lauren Drum is here today to talk about it.  She works for the Dutchess County Soil & Water Conservation District doing testing, program implementation, and education for the Hudson Valley community.  After all, New York takes its Black Dirt deposits very seriously.  All that lovely, fertile muck took aeons to get there, . Links:https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/united-states-history-primary-source-timeline/great-depression-and-world-war-ii-1929-1945/dust-bowl/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depopulation_of_the_Great_Plainshttps://lacusveris.com/The%20Hi-Line%20and%20the%20Yellowstone%20Trail/The%20Buffalo%20Commons/From%20Dust%20to%20Dust.shtmlhttps://www.cdfa.ca.gov/statistics/https://www.nass.usda.gov/Data_Visualization/Commodity/index.phphttps://www.britannica.com/biography/Dorothea-Langehttps://depts.washington.edu/moving1/dustbowl_migration.shtmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migrant_Motherhttps://www.britannica.com/place/Dust-Bowlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Plainshttps://topostreets.com/top-10-largest-aquifers-in-the-world/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogallala_Aquiferhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ludlum_bibliographyhttps://grokipedia.com/page/Black_Dirt_RegionSupport the show

Photographer Michelle Arcila joined me at the JKC Gallery to discuss the process of making incredibly personal work that involves family and trauma and who that work might be for. We also talk about photographing your family, especially your children, and how to find the balance between exploring a painful narrative in the work while protecting those you are photographing from your past experiences.https://www.michellearcila.nethttps://www.instagram.com/michelle.arcila/Michelle Arcila is a Costa Rican/American photographer living and working in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2002 with a BFA in photography. Her work primarily focuses on family lore, motherhood, bicultural identity, and ancestral trauma. Her photographs have been exhibited and published both nationally and internationally; they also appear in a number of private collections. In 2012, after the birth of her first daughter, she took a hiatus from commercial work. During that time she was able to really start exploring how the work she was creating related to not only her experience of growing up in the United States as a first generation American; which came with the feeling of not feeling from here and not feeling from there (“No soy de aquí, no soy de allá.”) and how that sentiment played into her role as a mother and perhaps how all of this combined has affected her mental health struggles. She is the recipient of the Photowork 2025 Fellowship and was shortlisted for the PHMuseum 2025 Women's Grant. She currently divides her time between the Hudson Valley and Brooklyn, NY, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.This podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book Club - Begin Building your dream photobook library today at:https://charcoalbookclub.com

Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices In this episode of The Rachel Hollis podcast, she challenges the idea that adulthood, ambition, or leadership must constantly feel exhausting and argues that a lighter, more intentional life is often built through small daily choices rather than dramatic overhauls. Drawing from her own recent move from Los Angeles to the Hudson Valley, she reflects on simplifying her lifestyle and shares nine “tiny habits” that help her feel more grounded, including starting the day with intention, avoiding her phone in the morning, using the two-minute rule to overcome procrastination, drinking water before coffee, setting a bedtime alarm, moving her body daily, ending the day by noticing what went right, finding moments of laughter, and practicing self-compassion. Ultimately, she emphasizes that meaningful change does not come from perfection or doing everything at once, but from consistently choosing one small habit that brings more ease, presence, and gratitude into everyday life.

Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices In this experimental, live-recorded episode of The Rachel Hollis Podcast, Rachel experiments with a looser Rach Talk format recorded in her Instagram broadcast channel, mixing personal development advice with casual life updates and pop-culture commentary. In this episode, her main message is that falling off track is inevitable, so people should stop treating failure as proof of who they are and instead build a daily “reset plan” to help them recover quickly. Using examples from baseball, tennis, journaling, and inner-child visualization, she encourages listeners to identify the emotions that come up when they fail and create small spiritual or grounding practices that meet those emotional needs. The episode then shifts into lighter topics, including the Met Gala, upcoming sequels, Martha Stewart, moving to the Hudson Valley, wanting a dog, debating chickens, and her hopes for Mother's Day.
