Loving and living this life in Seattle
First and foremost, HAPPY JUNETEENTH because Black Liberation is my favorite thing! As far as I know, none of us has control over what family we are born into and what part of the world we make our grand entrance. I happen to have been born in the good ol’ USA. That comes with a …
I am not what you would consider an animal lover. I am not a fan of pets. I don’t necessarily enjoy encounters with animals in the wild, though I absolutely respect them and their ownership of the great outdoors. It is their home, and I’m just grateful to be granted passage. This is important to …
I cannot remember a time in my life when I didn’t enjoy writing. Even from an early age, I was enamored with stories and the collection of words that collaborated to make stories come to life. The written word is a form of cosmic magic. Words transform, transfix, and teleport us to places we dare …
