This nasty woman is looking forward to marching this weekend in Oklahoma. I march for all of those minorities who make up the majority. I march for peace, love and unity. I march to end violence against women. I march to end racial violence. I march to end religious violence. I march to end rape culture. I march for my marriage and yours. I march to end gender norms. I march to normalize love. I march because I wake up in fear many mornings. I march because my neighbors wake up in fear many mornings. I know that fear breeds violence, and so I march so that others know I am a safe place. I am a place you can go when you are afraid. I will love you. I will fight for you. We are one. #whyimarch #nastywoman #millionwomanmarch #safeplace #makinghistory #lgbtq #blacklivesmatter #universaloneness @thenastywomenproject @dwellingspaces

You know, what strikes me is how desperately we all need to know that we are seen and heard. We don’t need our lives to be different, or easier, we just need someone to see the pain. To know what we’ve faced and overcome. To say: Yes. I see this. This is real. We don’t need a magician to take it all away – we just need a witness.

Life is moving so fast. We are moving in 108 days. I am going to hopefully try to conceive as long as my donor is still on board in about 10 days... My psoriasis has been flaring up like crazy, and I am determined to control it with my Ayurveda. I am having a hard time calming my mind and that only makes matters worse. Here is to a better tomorrow. <3

Quick update. Top picture is this morning. Bottom picture is a few weeks ago.I took prednisone for 2 weeks. I hate having to take it but my flare up was so bad and I was doing a terrible job managing my stress- which makes it worse. My clothes were starting to stick to my skin and I hadn't slept in days so I gave in. With the first week of prednisone it cleared up greatly. Towards the end it started to flare up again. Yeaterday was my last day on the prednisone and I refuse to take it again. That stuff turned me into a hungry, hormonal, extremely emotional and lazy bitch. On to where I originally started in trying to control this flareup naturally. Winter is the toughest for these flareups, but I am so grateful I don't have to deal with this everyday. This is only the fourth flareup of my entire life. So I guess I am lucky. I am grateful for my bodies capability to heal itself. #psoraisis #healing #prednisone #healyourself #nomoresteroids #loveyourcells

You must not reduce yourself to a puddle just because the person you like is afraid to swim and you are a fierce sea to them; because there will be someone who was born with love of the waves within their blood, and they will look at you with fear and respect.

She foresaw herself getting fainter and fainter, more and more papery, more and more whispery, and this is what happened to her. Still, she smiles. She smiles. She doesn’t say much any more.

I ought to have felt hurt, and I did. But I also felt set free; as if released from an enchantment. On the outside, I would still be helpful – I wouldn’t be able to change that about myself. But another, more secret life spread out before me, unrolling like dark fabric.

Sometimes I notice pictures that my beloved sneaks of me while I am otherwise engaged. #inversions #beloved #headstands #salambasirasana #legsintheair

My love an I after picking up our bibs for her first race ever. I am so proud of her! She owned that 15k and she finished four minutes ahead of me. Now we are registered for my second full marathon and her first half marathon in Anchorage, Alaska in June. So until training officially begins, I will be increasing my mileage. Here is to a happy life full of love and running. I am so glad to be back.

189 Days until Alaska

We bought our warm winter coats and boots over the weekend to prepare for our move to Alaska. All we really need to purchase now is camping gear. Camping with our 3 crazy dogs will be interesting to say the least. Hanna is the only one who has camped before, I will be brand new and so will the dogs. However we figure it is the best option with the LONG drive and in case we have to wait a few days to get into a cabin.

Fairbanks we will be there in May. Unless another location in Alaska offers dog friendly cabins and has a good job market.

Talk to me, people.

You have become a “home” for me, and with you, always, everything is beautiful.
