Hello there!

Hi! *waves elegantly from the breakfast table* I'm tired and stunned and heartsick.  How 'bout you? I've been grieving the loss of human kindness this week by staying in my jammies and stress eating.  Today I've decided to cope in a healthier way by writing my feelings instead of eating them, donating to causes that promote equality and kindness, and getting down to the business of pointing out bigotry and hatred instead of ignoring it. I'm finding that writing is a good way for me work out the hurt and anger and hopefully turn those feelings into something positive.

I'm not entirely sure what this blog will look like, so bear with me as I work it out.  I'm sure it will be a little political, a little humorous, it may contain the odd book review or dog picture and "Hey, look at the great thing my kid did today" posts. I may post daily at times, and I may take weeks between posts. Read what you like, take from it what you want, and if you choose to comment, be careful with your words.  As you move through your day, choose kind as often as you can. We'll all be better for it.
