My nine day old son, Rowan, died in my arms in 2004. I've okay, now, for the most part. But this time of year is rough. I call it "Rowan-Time." Today I feel like this horse trying to make my way through mud and my body only remembers the trauma of that time. #Grief #ChildLoss #InfantLoss

Just make sure you step away, move your body, breathe fresh air, take off your shoes and feel the earth beneath you, and make some noise--more than once in a while. #InternetRage

In the case that 1 of my 17 followers has been following my posts about Waldport, Oregon's mayor, Heide Lambert, and have been waaaaaaaaiiiiiiiting for me to update...Mayor Lambert was permanently reinstated to her seat at the dais!
IMHO, they are still unwelcoming of the mayor (to say the least).

#LGBTQIA+ #PRIDE is about celebrating who we are and our right to exist without fear of persecution. So instead of wondering why there isn't a Straight-Pride movement, take a moment and be thankful that you are fortunate enough not to need one.

While this is the time of #SpringEquinox, today is International Day For the Elimination of Racial Discrimination,established 6 years after police killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against the apartheid “pass laws” in Sharpeville, South Africa, March 21, 1960. #Racism *More in Comments

#MentalHealth

My heart is willing to take a risk at loving a pup again. 20 days ago Benny kind of fell into our care. He is said to be a Yorkipoo. Nearly 5 months old. Clean bill of health with some weird deviations (just like the rest of us). We are back to being a 3-dog family.

Many of us are concerned & passionate about the state of things & using social media to inform ourselves & participate in activism. Often, though, we lose our sense of direction & get hooked by the drama. REMINDER: Our #MentalHealth depends on getting "off the line" once in a while. #NeuroPsychology
