I’m still here. I moved apartments, last Monday. It’s been difficult to find the time to write, amidst living in chaos. I’ll be back on Monday, with my regular posts on family and love and wonder. It’s actually been difficult not blogging; that’s the writer’s joy, that need to write everyday, to express, to see what is inside, on the page slash screen. For now, I will continue to watch over and over again Bridget Everett serenade Idris Elba, because I so do need to smile.

Thousand Oaks.

Michelle Obama: “We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we’re broken. That’s one of the reasons why I think it’s important to talk to young mothers about the fact that miscarriages happen.”

Women winning.

Dr. Leana Wen: “We have to acknowledge that communities of color face the greatest barriers when it comes to access to health care.”

Plant people.

And now have a laugh with Sydnee Washington.
