5 Things / Joy
Summer is my favorite season. I just returned from a 2.5-week campervan road trip with my 13-year-old son. Driving 3,000 miles on our epic adventure, with no one to share the load, forced me to be deeply present.
5 Things / Visibility
My partner Heather Vickery and I spent Wednesday (Lesbian Visibility Day!) in Springfield for LGBTQ Advocacy Day at the Illinois State Capitol. It was my first time attending this annual event organized by Equality Illinois. The goal is to meet with legislators and share our perspectives on LGBTQ-related bills.
