Digging deep to retain some optimism. Today, it's the women and youth who #volunteer, help in their communities and give back, again and again. #Detroit

Today, I plant seeds of #justice and joy. The joy will grow in my yard from the zinnia seeds planted. Justice will grow from my donations to immigrant support nonprofits and the ACLU. What #seeds are you planting today?

My heart is full after the peaceful protests in Ferndale. And my heart is heavy after the assasinations in MN and tear gas in LA. #nokings

Ah, a lazy #Caturday for Maria.

My life: seeking funding for a growing #nonprofit. And also seeking bottle tops in pink and orange and black.
Plastic bottle tops in blue and white and green, a start of an art project for Mint Artists Guild.
