11… Memories We’ve Made Over Seven Years

Today marks seven years of doing life with Dylan. Our family is about as far from traditional as we could possibly be, and yet we’re still here making it work every day. We've had good years and bad years and in between years. He can be a real asshat sometimes, but in a world where I question how everyone feels about me, he's made sure I never question if he loves me.

11… Ways I Try to Show Up for My People

I have always been lonely. I have always wanted to make sure no one feels the same. So I do my best to show up for my people on their good days but especially on their bad. I fail at it often, but I try. People need to know they're important and valued and wanted for exactly who they are.

Happy Birthday Kelsey

There are people who make you. There are people who break you. There are very few people who sign up for the good, the bad, the worse, the horrible, the healing. Unconditional love is rare, but I found it in my best friend. Happy Birthday to the other half of the greatest love story of my life.
