beauty forced life
I was never forced to go to church, and there is a lot of beauty in Christianity that I take in my life as a gift, and there is a lot of beauty in other religions. I'm kind of a spiritual mutt.
home love
When I'm home, I cook. I love cooking for people.
family love oriented
I love Decatur. It is diverse, politically progressive, family oriented and I can walk everywhere.

Whenever anybody gets involved in politics, its always exciting for me because we take for granted our freedoms and our abilities to effect change through political activism.

I try not to get personally involved in social media. It kind of makes me sick sometimes.

Music makes me alive in a way that nothing quite does. Good art, good film, good books, good dance. Exhibitions, history. Nature makes me feel alive. Georgia in the rain - that makes me feel alive. Compassion makes me feel alive. Hard fought victories for social rights.

gratitude thinking should-have
Whenever I think about all the things I appreciate in life, I also think about my privileges, as well. Try to keep that all in balance. Gratitude for what I have, trying to be part of movements that make it easy for people who have it harder than they ever should have it.

I give it up to women who have the power to keep their spirit alive under very difficult circumstances.

Unjust use of force, strength, and brutality. Those are the forces that make me feel vulnerable.
mother hurt grief
I had a sister who died and my mother passed away. I know that grief comes in waves. When deep grief hits, I know that it hurts like hell, and then you get a little bit of a respite, and then it comes back, and it hurts like hell. I know it can be survived.

The most important thing to do for me physiologically is to sleep when I'm tired. I love to sleep and it's very restorative.

Cooking is really calming. Sharing food with friends, cooking.
