Last night I took a good wander and without even thinking about it, ended up at the church where we dance.

Trust the path, and it will always lead you to where you need to be. Trust where you are, and let what is supposed to be unfold.

True belonging is not conditional.

I’ve been contemplating the times in my life I’ve tried to earn my place & then come to lose it.

Places we really belong take us as we are & love us even if we give nothing in return. And they allow us to be our best selves, which grows into sacred reciprocity.

Center the people who make you feel like you are great exactly the way you are, perfect in your imperfections.

A message today while tending Quan Yin.

Don’t give up. You’ve come so far and worked so hard. Keep going. You’re doing great.

Tonight I am prioritizing laying on the couch under a pile of pillows doing absolutely nothing and it feels AMAZING. Highly recommended. Xo.

The Eagles winning the Super Bowl gave pretty much all of Philly a 4 day weekend. I am beyond grateful for this citywide staycation.

It’s been a year since I learned I live w CPTSD.

I gave myself a spa day today. As I relaxed, I felt into my heartbeat. I’m lucky to be in as good of shape as I am. Some days I even feel I am filled w grace & beauty.

Healing is hard work. I am grateful I’m still around in this lifetime to do it.

Without light, there is no shadow. The more light there is, the easier it can be to find the shadow. And the more light there is, the easier it can be to accept the shadow as part of the makeup of our existence.

I’m in line to pick up the first round of hormones for my kid. Gender affirming care feels like an act of both hope and resistance.

I’m a double Leo. A lioness. I will fiercely do everything in my power to protect the rights of my kid & all trans kids everywhere to be healthy & happy in their body.

If you spend exactly zero seconds thinking about how this would be unfair to you, we should be friends.

It’s funny how the ones who complain the loudest never had a barrier in their way to begin with.

Here’s what I love about my new sketchbook.

I draw w my 15 yr old trans kid.
Scary times w youth gender affirming care. Glad we can decompress together.

I draw daily! Hard habit to keep.

I draw things like my cat. She’s my emotional support cat.

Times are hard! Find love & fun where you can!
