Actively working to be a good human— for me this is being a good neighbor, a good citizen, and not just follow the general drift of society…and prayer helps me do that! Proud parent of two, one of whom is trans, who I love and protect, always.

Cranberry-Lime Pie
The spirit of a Key lime pie in the guise of a luscious cranberry curd. The contrast between the snappy press-in crust and the tart filling in this recipe is pure genius.

A 20 year old woman in Minnesota was murdered at work by a coworker this week. Why? He didn't like the way she looked at him. And people are judging her gender presentation in an effort to justify her murder. America hates women. And children. It hates Black, Indigenous, Latine and Asian people too

My religious journey has been rooted in the principle that faith is an assurance in things unseen. As naive as it is, I’m really hoping this might be the moment that serves as a wake-up for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on who Trump has always been. Likely? No. Hovering above zero. But that’s faith.
