It's weird to think about how the first time I had my name in lights, it was right above a plaque with my grandfather's name on it. #FamilyPride #ThatsWY #GoGoshen #Author #Torrington #TorringtonWY #CatchMeIfYouCan #Wyoming #wyomingbooks (at Torrington, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpNgWi6gWPt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You ever get to thinking about how the fashion industry could make a killing by slowly trimming down clothing sizes, then turning around and selling diet plans? Yeah. Me neither. #HappyNewYear #Clothing #DietCulture #dietculturedropout #ThatsWY #ThatsWYEnbies #HelenMPugsley #Beautiful #fashionblogger #fashion #Yass #poet #poetsofinstagram (at Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnjBon2Olsv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In light of recent events I my city, I would like to say, once more, I support the freedom to be exactly who you are, in the land of the free.🇺🇲 Yes, I am Christian, but I seem to remember "Love thy neighbor as yourself" being drilled into my tiny brain back in Sunday school. Think I even remember hearing it ring off the rafters in a Hymn... All's I know is that love is the highest fulfillment of the law. I am highly disappointed in about 25 Wyoming legislators, but very proud of the @laramieboomerang and @uwbrandingiron for reporting these incidents. Thank you for your hard work, journalists. "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves." -A 3,000 year old text. #ThatsWY #Wyoming #WyomingLife #Laradise #NoHateInOurTown #WritersOfWyoming #HelenMPugsley #ChristiansofInstagram #Christian #UW #wyominglife #lgbt #QueerWyoming #Laramie #Love (at Laramie, Wyoming) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmN0dJLMUxw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
