Sitting in Awe
20 years ago, I didn’t want to live. I made plans. I found myself on my third-floor balcony imagining the injuries I could create and how to fall and not recover. I would imagine the concoctions I could take to never wake up… if I ever fell asleep (the insomnia episodes were never-ending). Today, IContinue reading “Sitting in Awe”

Happy Pride
For the first time in my life, I celebrated Pride as an out and proud bisexual, genderqueer female. I am completely unashamed of who I am. I’m doing the things that I love to do.

Being Present
I need to make sure that my kids see a difference in my home than they do at the birth family’s house. So that when they go home they can bring the best things they learned here to their own families. That means a conscious effort at doing things differently than the way I grewContinue reading “Being Present”
Before moving forward…
Before sharing my New Year’s journey… I first need to acknowledge the great blessing that our family received during the holidays. We’ve struggled the last little bit. We have all our essentials and we treat ourselves to various things, so it’s not something we talked about or really worried about. But, we were not reallyContinue reading “Before moving forward…”
