I took him home in his donated pink carrier (since he was too anxious to go home in the standard box), plopped him down in my bathroom, closed the bathroom door, and opened his kennel.

a love letter
I am all of these things because I am human. And because I am human, I am stronger than I ever thought I would have to be. This is a letter calling me to love every version of me; calling me to bravely leap into my possibility and potential. This is my love letter. Happy Valentine's Day
lead by example
We are constantly growing, always becoming, and we will forever have people we are looking up to in one area or another. We can be evolving and be the person who opens up other people's awareness of what it means to live our dreams.

an anxious existence
Awareness is a hard path to trudge down and there are constantly surprises, but every rock in the way that you can point to, is a rock that won’t knock you on the ground. A rock that you can see for all that it is, is an obstacle that you can now nimbly navigate to avoid tripping over and halting your progress.
