When was the last time you meditated?

oh man, probably last week. i need to get back into the regular practice. it probably has contributed greatly to my inability to manage life and the shit being thrown my way lately …

in fact this is something that i will make sure i get back to.

i always feel better about everything when i am sticking to my routine that involves morning gratitude and evening meditation time.

Something you’re thankful for.

oh … man …

lots of things

over the last year, i have become especially thankful for my home space.

thankful that i have this space that is big enough for all of us to be together in it without being on top of each other all day …

i am thankful that i have enough food in my fridge and cupboards to not only continue to feed my family but also to keep the #CommunityCupbaord stocked as well.

i am trying harder and harder to focus on the things i am thankful for. every day, i look for them.

What do you want to be your legacy?

a better world for my children.

a place where my daughter isn’t judged and persecuted for every choice she makes because she has a vagina. and, similarly, a world where my son is not presumed to be, somehow, privileged, because he is a white boy.

it’s funny…. these two ends of the spectrum i have. one who may be dismissed because she is “just a girl.” and one who may be presumed to have had a charmed existence, the world as his oyster, or something … and yet … the opposite is the truth for both.

i hope i leave them a better world than i grew up in.
