Celebrating Back History Month with my favorite black authors! Nedra Glover Tawwab has several incredible books around setting boundaries with practical How-tos. Her new book is coming out in a few days. Who else is excited???

Anger, fear, rage, numbness, grief. These are all warning signs that something is wrong. It doesn’t mean you are overreacting or crazy. It’s a signal. A signal to pause, identify and take action. Now is the time to take action, to step up and to be a collective, to volunteer, to connect with your community, and to protest. Focus on freezing out ICE instead of yourself.

Included in this post are to resources to help begin your journey.

"Affirmative consent it about making sure that everyone involved in a s*xual activity is into it. And when I say "into it," I don't mean "okay with it." I mean into it." ---Isabella Rotman, A Quick and Easy Guide to Consent.

Happy Pride Month, y’all!

Here are a *few* Pride flags you may or may not recognize. There are PLENTY more, too!

Several Pride flags have changed and evolved over the years, most notably the Inclusive Pride Flag, Le***an Flag, and Polyamory Flag!

Also: The first Pride was a riot! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊🏽

A wonderful resource for relationships! Especially if you love podcasts!

The holidays can be hard. We can get sucked into old family patterns, fall into the arms of grief or even be overwhelmed by everything around us. Take some time to reconnect with yourself when possible and know it's okay, you will get through this.

"40% of maternal deaths [from pregnancy to the first year after birth] occur in the first 42 days postpartum." - Enough About the Baby by Becky Viera. Giving birth is a medical condition. Take care of your body and advocate your needs. You are important.

Today may be a day of grief and anxiety. It's frustrating to feel helpless. It's overwhelming trying to figure out how we will survive. Just remember that you are not alone. There are people just like you out there. People who want to love, who want to protect those around them, to survive another day. There is also nature around us. Shifting, changing, being. Go outside and watch the sky, the birds playing in the air, watch the trees swaying in the wind, having to give up their leaves occasionally to the constant pressure, notice the feel of the air on your face outside whether crisp or heavy. Notice the flowers growing through the cracks in the concrete, refusing to give up even when walked over. We are in this together. We are connected to this world. Take a moment and notice your connections. This is an amazing connection I noticed a few weeks ago. Salmon coming together after years in the ocean, finding their way through lakes and rivers to return to their home creek. Fighting for a chance at survival.

For those in Seattle today!

This is your reminder to create a spark in your relationship. Pick up a ridiculous game, make some drinks and enjoy the night together!

Celebrating Pride with a month full of Love!
