Spring is finally here! Although it's been feeling like spring since February? But that's Texas weather for you. Today I was planting flowers I'd purchased three weeks ago tending to my garden and noticed a lovely Texas bluebonnet blooming.

Love Trumps Hate
After the election, I struggled with what to say about it on my blog. I ended up writing a passionate post about how dismayed I was about Trump's win. I never publicized the blog on my Instagram or Facebook feeds, and I hid the post several months later. The tone didn't fit with my… Continue reading Love Trumps Hate
The Process of Relearning
"If you don't use it, you'll lose it." It's a phrase I find myself pondering as I study for my test.

On November 8, our country elected a racist, bigoted, xenophobic sexual predator for president. And this past week, I've been trying to come to terms with why and how that happened.
