Four Years Later; Unpublished, Open Letter to My Dad

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.

Welcome to the Family

Welcome to the Family. This is not an April Fools' joke. It is real life. Five weeks ago, our lives changed dramatically by a split second decision of mine. A week later, our lives changed even more. Today, we're proud, happy, and tired parents of quite the circus. Dylan, RaeAnna, one rescue dog, a former street dog, and thirteen miracle puppies.

End of An Era

It's an end of an era. With DD 214 in hand, Alex is leaving the Marines to go home for good today. It may not officially be a military love-story, but there's love and it's a story. The Sergeant is done.

11..., Lifestyle

11…

11... is a new blog series to be published on Mondays, or as many Mondays as I can muster. To be published at 11:11 because it's cute and cliche. Sometimes I like that just not in plots; unless I'm the one writing the plot, then it's original and captivating. The first 11... will be random facts about me because why not?!?
