I'm grateful to @usnewsbuzz.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to write about a topic I'm passionate about. Shifting public perception begins with conversations -- and resisting the urge to look away.

Wrote this piece for Today. Rheana was quick to accept and publish. I love that she's not afraid to talk about kids, cancer and Christmas. This piece is about me, my Nana, and god, and a connection with someone we can't see, but who gets us through hard days.
Why did God let her get sick? I struggled with my faith as my child fought cancer on Christmas
God had allowed Emily to get cancer, and I didn’t understand why.

as blue sky scrambles to figure out what I like, the first three (!!!) posts on my feed today are cat pics. blue sky, I don't like cats. no offense to those who do. I just don't.

@caseymulliganwalsh.bsky.social this lovely woman and writer published this beautiful piece and has a book being released soon. Read and read.
Loving the air over here with you lovely folks!

Sharing this piece, out today at @hippocampusmag.bsky.social . It's been my nemesis for more than three years, so this win is sweet!

There's dark humor in this hermit crab essay, but I'm guessing many of you will relate. Thanks for reading!

when it's pouring and 40 on cape cod, I want to binge watch all the good shows. what are your favs? mine right now are Shrinking, Bad Sisters, and The Diplomat, which I really like but can't follow all the names.
