That it is this moment that cracks open our bones, changes our lives and sweeps all of the weight […]
My friend, when you are finished falling, after you hit rock bottom and watch yourself come apart into a million pieces, no one is staying to help you collect yourself, no one is sticking around to pick through your pieces to decide which parts of you are worth keeping.

I’m a big fan of women who snort when they laugh. Women who overshare awkward truths when the conversation stalls. I’m a big believer in singing loudly in the car whenever possible and I love pulling alongside a fellow diva doing the same. I’m a big fan of women who love women, who spot toilet […]
