Let's be very clear: Strong men - men who are truly role models - don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.

I believe in pink.
I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.

Never go in search of love,
go in search of life,
and life will find you

You were
the one
I wanted
to wake up with
on Sunday morning
and make
a cup of coffee for.

Poem for your Sunday
~ Franz Wright, in God's Silence
— Walking home, for a moment
you almost believe you could start again.
And an intense love rushes to your heart, and hope. It's unendurable, unendurable.

My sweetest cat nephew, Leo, was a rescue kitty during the pandemic. I used to hold him on my chest in my coat to keep him warm. He was found hiding in a box, definitely not thriving.
He still loves boxes and is doing well.
