Thank you all for the outpouring of support yesterday! [View all]

I’m in a good mood this morning, having felt not just the caring but the reminder that we are in a world of wonders, and what affects me is what I pay attention to. I’m hyper vigilant (insert long childhood story here) so pay far too much attention to what seems to be dangerous rather than noting it, working to change it, and surrounding myself with the fuel of beauty and joy and fun to help me do so.

Here’s to beauty and joy and fun—and families, given and chosen. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
