April is National Poetry Month so I will start sharing my poetry. Why? Because growth and progress aren't just physical. Writing is a hobby of mine as well as a way for me to practice mindfulness. By sharing my poems, many of which have never been read by another human ever, I'm opening up a part of myself that I shield and hide. I had decided this year to grow as a person and I'm still deadset on doing so. Thanks for being a part of it. P.S. I might not always share them in this format (i.e. my handwritten version). Some future posts might be from the notes section of my phone. We'll see. (at Dallas, Texas)

Coffee and riverwalks make me happy. My trip to Georgia was good for the soul.

In Jimmy Carter's oval office with the best aunt ever. I had such a wonderful time and learned even more about Carter. We need more Jimmy Carters in the world. (at Jimmy Carter Presidential Library)

Why we still need John Berger’s Ways of Seeing

In 1972, the critic opened our eyes with his analysis of the female figure in art and advertising – in today’s frenzied image culture, his lessons are still necessary

What better way to bring in the new year than laughing with the person you love?
