This time of year is perfect for intentional thinking, pausing, and assessing. Self-awareness has been one of the best gifts life experience (and YouthWorks job training) has given me. It is immensely valuable to be able to sit down, look inside myself and my life, name what I’m crazy about and what is driving me … Continue reading “Someone is wrong and it could be me.”

We are lovely and loved
I'm supposed to be on my way out of the house right now to run various errands, but I've been watching the new season of Queer Eye all morning and I have to write some things down.
