I had the opportunity to listen to @kjramseywrites when she came to @watershedclt. “And we too are trees in a forest who can only flourish by the life that others send our way.” I’m a mosaic of everyone I’ve ever loved. It doesn’t matter that it’s been 8 years since I left Kentucky, we pick up like no time has passed (because no time has passed since the last text). Until next time. @lil_lori_1shoe @hammons.holly @amyhuseman For @amyhuseman Such a beautiful conversation between Anderson Cooper and Mariska Hargitay. The secrets people carry aren’t invitations for judgment, they’re invitations for compassion. Every person has a story we don’t fully see. My alarm went off early this morning on the last day of Pride so I could sit on the beach and watch the sunrise. I know... it’s WAY too early to be thinking about school. 😅 But grant season waits for no one, and I need your brainstorming power! So far we’ve built: Next week is G’Nick ‘26. 💛 “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” The world probably doesn’t need another hat (I know I don’t!). But I needed to make one. Because creating is where I feel most alive. In the interview I watched yesterday with @mollybarkergotrfounder , she kept placing her hand over her chest and referring to “this.” I knew exactly what she meant. That’s where it lives in me, too, the place that expands when something is right for me and tightens when it isn’t.
