Sometimes I tell myself: Put the book down and get some things done. Then I tell myself: Be quiet.//Writer. Editor. Professional nerd.

Even when I'm writing for fun I procrastinate. What kind of weirdness is that? #writer #justonemorepin

Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; especially whenever my hypos…requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off-- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can

Blessed to have a love like this.

I didn’t call my husband crying.
I called him angry.
It was 11:47 PM. I was sitting on the kitchen floor, laptop open, staring at an email that said my contract wasn’t being renewed. Just like that. Two years of overtime, weekends, skipped holidays — gone in one paragraph.
When he answered, I didn’t even say hello.
“I lost my job.”
Silence. Not the awkward kind. The steady kind.
He said, “Okay. I’m coming home.”
He was on a night shift. I told him not to. I said I didn’t want him to risk it. I said I was fine.
He said, “You’re not.”
Twenty minutes later, I heard the door.
He didn’t try to fix it. Didn’t start giving solutions. Didn’t say, “You’ll find something better.” Didn’t minimize it.
He just sat on the floor with me.
He ordered food because he knew I hadn’t eaten. He closed my laptop because he knew I’d keep rereading the email. He made a list the next morning not of jobs for me but of bills he could cover alone “for as long as it takes.”
The next week, I found out he had quietly moved money from his personal savings into our joint account.
Not because I asked.
Because he anticipated.
Months later, when I apologized for being “a burden,” he looked genuinely confused.
“We’re married,” he said. “There is no yours and mine when things fall apart. There’s just us.”
That’s when I understood something about marriage.
It’s not about who plans the best anniversary or posts the sweetest captions.
It’s about who sits on the kitchen floor with you when your world collapses.
It’s about who absorbs your panic without adding their own.
It’s about who turns “your problem” into “our plan.”
Marriage isn’t loud.
It’s steady.
And when it’s real, you don’t have to beg someone to show up.
They already grabbed their keys.

Nope. Just PMS.

Does anger come with depression or does depression come with anger?

Our neighbours
will know that we are Christians

• not by our theology
• not by our “rightness”
• not by how we debate
• not by how we convince others of their sinfulness

But they will know we are Christians
by our love

I don’t think a bucket of mac & cheese would solve all my problems, but it probably couldn’t hurt.

Remember the good old days, when we all knew that Nazis, slaveowners, and sexual predators were the bad guys?

The people who threw rocks at Ruby Bridges for trying to go to school are now upset their grandchildren might learn about them throwing rocks at Ruby Bridges.

Some of those people who threw rocks are still alive.

Your daily reminder that convicted pedophile and child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is being held in far better conditions than migrants in Alligator Alcatraz, many of whom are people seeking asylum and have never committed any felonies.

Under pressure from White House, Smithsonian removes Trump from impeachment exhibit in American History Museum. Now the text reads that "only 3 presidents seriously faced removal," meaning A. Johnson, Nixon and Clinton -- not Trump. https://t.co/C6ursJXNEy

A reporter just contacted me to write an article about this. So, please share. Each new share brings new eyes. We need a temporary space. So, if you know any churches, schools, other entities with available space, please share or send me the information.
