I’ve written this post so many times. It was never good enough or right... but it was taking too long and many of you have said it so much better than I can . I am sickened, I am heart broken and I am angry and I fluctuate around which is the stronger. . @nadinebrandes said it best about how this is not how God intended us to be . @procrastiplanneretc said it best that she shouldn’t have to be afraid when her family is out playing or running errands . @ohhappydani said it best that action is transformational . I feel accountable to you, and to this world I’m raising a daughter in. To say nothing would say that I didn’t care. To do nothing would say I didn’t care enough. I spent a few days researching ways to act, praying for God to connect me to where I might might make the greatest impact with the means I had to contribute. . God connected me with @youthlinkmn through a co-worker and friend who volunteers at this homeless shelter for youth in Minneapolis. She asked me for books written by black authors that she could give the youth to inspire them and offer an escape while they’re isolated in quarantine and riots are happening out in their streets. I was thrilled to provide a list of my favorites, then I went out bought copies myself and shipped them to the center along with needed items from their amazon wishlist. . I tell you this, because I feel it’s important you know. I am accountable for demonstrating kindness to combat hate, and it’s a fierce conviction that I feel compelled to act upon. I can’t stop hateful acts of others, and it kills me that I can’t, but I can push more kindness out into the world, to those who need it most. I am committing to you to continue that mission and not to make it a thing I only do when high profile instances are made known. Because the appalling truth is that hate and evil are constantly occurring even when not reported on. So kindness and love and compassion must be ever more vigilant and consistent as that which we’re trying to overcome. . #blacklivesmatter
My brain is mush. Anyone else's brain's mush? . I got into a slump, and it might have had to do with being confined in the messy house with my head exploding with goals and things that I need/want to do that all seem urgent and important and I could not sort it out. . Writing my 6th draft to have done in time for my editor... Planning the baby's first birthday... Starting cycle 2 of lifting... Getting out of the bad eating habits that developed while my husband was sick... Cleaning/decluttering the house... Maintaining my Etsy shop... Keeping up with my reading... Starting a buddy read on @merphynapier 's patreon... My day job... . Brain. Is. Mush. . And for someone who sells planner related thingies I suck at planning. *Oh, irony you sit over there and be quiet!* . Thank goodness for Sarra at @heartbreathingsblog who had a planner for authors I could download, print and cut at home. I'm so excited to put this together today and take the time to plan out all the things in my head so I can find peace and progress 😊 . #write #writer #writing #aspiringauthor #amwriting #aspiringwriter #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #amediting #writersofinstagram #planning #planner #writelifr #hb90 #hb90method #hb90planner #sendtwizzlers
No reading or writing for me today. Just lots of grumpy, clingy, baby cuddles. . I'm exhausted but I love her so much. . #themightymiri #write #writer #writing #aspiringauthor #amwriting #aspiringwriter #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #amediting #writersofinstagram
Working on a new Pangin makeover. I’m not sure how I feel about this yet. I definitely want some of his feathers to be fluffy but I have to find the right balance.
