Morning light
This girl. Equal parts athlete / fashionista / comedian / animal luva. And now double digits. Straight out of a rom-com, I bawled when the technician said she was a girl. But how she’s shown up in the world and in my life is 10x better than any expectation I might have had of “mother / daughter.” Let her grow up in a world in which she is self-expressed, in which others listen to her speak her truth, believe her when she does, and honor her and respect her as the strong, kind, intelligent human she is.

Cast your binding spells. Cast your visions for a world free from systemic injustice. Cast your self as one of a billion heroines that interrupt this tragedy. #LoveYou #CancelKavanaugh #IBelieveHer #ChristineBlaseyFordWeBelieveYou
Last month, I accidentally almost killed this ficus I inherited and nurtured over the past year. (I only know it’s a ficus because the tag is still on the original container.) Well, in my old age, I’ve become quite the sucker for plants and animals and so I’ve been talking to this guy and petting his leaves and paying close attention to his healing. And maybe that’s why I’m so pleased and relieved to see these four new buds/leaves he’s grown. I suppose the relief is that I didn’t kill him with my ignorance and carelessness, and the pleasure is the awareness of a growth process I never really cared to observe or partake in before.
