My favorite….well, you know ;-)

Proud of JLY and his fellow committee members for taking a stand - respect, admiration and gratitude.

Happy Birthday to the one and only John Lloyd Young!  So appropriate that he was born on the 4th of July…as he continues to make a difference with #TurnaroundArts and so many other important organizations, and he is an inspiration both on stage and off.  May this year ahead be the best ever… :o)  

My personal favorite of the night. Thanks JLY & company!!

More photos to come….

One of my very favorite blogs was deactivated yesterday and although I’m not surprised given the magnitude of cyber harassment and assumptions, I’m saddened. I’m saddened that a blog I very much appreciated for the great humor, esoteric and thought provoking content that likely helped thousands of people who were quietly struggling - is now gone. I don’t post under my real name, but he did, and I think it took an enormous amount of courage to spill his thoughts - hope he someday writes a book of poetry to share with the world. 🙏🏻

Endometriosis is serious. It’s debilitating. It’s not just “a bad period.” Please don’t make people with endometriosis feel like they have to justify their symptoms. Please understand the awful reality of this condition
