I walk through this world as a woman. In 2016, as a woman, a survivor of rape and domestic violence, I was devastated. I love my father more than anything, but he failed me when he voted for Trump. On inauguration day in 2017, I wrote a letter to my dad I never sent. Today, we welcomed hope into the Oval Office in a historic moment, but this letter has lived in my heart for four years. Even though we voted hate out, we have much work to do. Four years later, this letter still holds true for every one of the 74 million men and women who voted for Trump in 2020.

Last Saturday, Tess celebrated her second birthday with cake and a party hat. She also gave me quite the surprise and made me spend a good chunk of money at the vet to make sure she was okay... Yay... rescues!

Don't get me wrong, 2020 was the worst, but it brought a lot of wonderful things into my life. I'm choosing to look back on the good of last year instead of the atrocious.
11… Hopes for the New Year
I was hoping for an amazing start to the '20s. Instead a global pandemic arrived two months later, changing the social, economic, cultural, and all the other landscapes of the world. I have never been one for resolutions or goals, but I have hopes for 2021, and I will keep those in mind in the coming days and months.
