I am absolutely brimming with stories to tell; I have good stories, funny stories, warm stories, and a love story. But I haven't been able to write, because I have been too busy doing this thing called living. So, I decided that while I took the time to craft and publish these stories, today, I would republish the story that ...
On this site I have become known for some specific things: I speak openly and honestly about mental health, I say the hard truths that others may be afraid to articulate, I genuinely strive to make peoples' lives better, I never turn down a dance party, and I love Peeps.

Boy curled in my arms, Dad and girl doing puzzles; This, our happy life.
