Slowly getting myself reset from election week. Reminding myself to focus on what I can do. Recognising that continuing to learn and grow and change myself for the better is the best way to shine light in the dark. 🌞 Hard work but needs doing now more than ever. 💙

This week is pampering time. Today I am getting a pedicure and Thursday I will have a massage. Very much needed to try to stay sane and a little less anxious for my LGBTQ+ daughters that are still living in the country of Agolf Twitler.

Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.

Sitting here in Portugal watching the sh*t show in the US is painful. I have children, grandchildren, family, and friends there, many in the LGBTQ+ community, and I am very concerned, to say the least. Doing my best to hold safe space for all marginalized citizens. 💙
