    A lot of us learned some tough lessons this week . Thankfully I still have plenty to feed my family but worry for those who did even worse. I’m still in $amc but wish I could have a do over. That’s what is infuriating. The hedgies got a do-over by fleecing us- rigged system

    my grandmother had to leave the home at 12. She was a strong woman as well and one who i draw inspiration from to this day. Though she had passed, I like to think she smiles on the way I wove her into a book I wrote. Here's to you and to your tenacity. Thanks for working so hard

    I flew to Alaska to see my dad when I was 5. I still remember it now in my mid-forties. The desire to know and to be known is a powerful thing. Thanks for sharing. I fictionalized what that means in #StrongLikeWildflowers God bless that little girl and the couple that made her

    A story of learning to fly. Of reaching beyond boundaries & overcoming. Of pushing nearly to the end of self to the point of seeing others. And of finding something bigger, better & more real than all we know. (Rated 4.5 on amazon) #StrongLikeWildflowers

    It’s ok if you don’t know what to say sometimes. A hug, a hike, a board game, a walk, listening, sit by a campfire. A lot of love can be shown even when you don’t have the words. Be present. Be engaged. Show care. They’ll see it. #dads
