What the heck, let's share the hard things.
I found some old writing from the time of leaving my incorrect marriage, and so, unedited since 2013:

That whole "be the change you wish to see in the world" is a message that can happen person by person—and flower by flower. Yesterday a stranger gave me flowers and a reminder of hope. I'd like to share this bouquet with you today.

I love that running errands lately, little girls keep coming up to me, or just pointing at my purse, and yelling LABUBU
Adults, maintain your whimsy.
The kids are watching and there's clearly joy in knowing they can keep loving cute or silly things forever.

Pros(e)—writing, professionals, good things!
Cons—conventions, conferences, negatives!
Events in the writing/bookish world are a loaded topic these days.
I went to a con(vention) and a con(ference) this summer, and—well, let's get into it. The good, the bad, the ugly, the puns.
