#DialPartner #IWashMyHandsFor Granny! I'm so thank

#DialPartner #IWashMyHandsFor Granny! I'm so thankful she and two of my little sisters are only a short drive away when I need some backup 💪🏾 . They never hesitate to let my little brood come over and hang out, and get loved on. Plus, she’s always got the best snacks ready.

Who has been there for you these last few months?

When my husband and I were newlyweds we worked ear

When my husband and I were newlyweds we worked early morning custodial jobs, lived in a crappy apartment and worried about our future.

One phrase I’d chant to myself to keep my worries in check was “you’re too blessed to be stressed.” Those six words re-centered me no matter what our problems were.

Fast forward 15 years. We don’t have the same worries we did then. In many ways the things on my mind right now have my nerves much more rattled. Nothing is more worrisome than the safety of my family. And that’s been a constant as of late.

But today I found myself uttering those words I haven’t called on in so long: I’m too blessed to be stressed.

Every day may not be good. But there is good in every day.

So I picked a bouquet of wildflowers from my backyard and said a prayer of gratitude.
What was something good in your day?

HAPPY LOVING DAY! 💖 Our family is a little mess

HAPPY LOVING DAY! 💖 Our family is a little messy sometimes. But we are a family. Legally. And a little more than 50 years ago that would not have been the case.

Sad right? It’s hard to imagine our family being seen as anything but normal. But less than 53 years ago, our marriage would have been illegal in 16 states. Not just frowned upon, not just shunned… ILLEGAL. Betcha didn’t know you’d be getting a little history lesson today. Ha! But I’m happy to share this special day with you!

Today we celebrate the Supreme Court ruling to overturn those laws and make interracial marriage leagel in all 50 states.

Our family celebrates every year. Sometimes we make cupcakes, I *try* to get a new family picture (still need to snap one today), and we always read The Case for Loving, a children’s book on the topic.

I am so thankful for a Richard and Mildred Loving, and the people who worked to make families like ours legal.

You don’t need to be in an interracial marriage to celebrate this holiday. It’s something we all can appreciate and share with our families. I see it as a reminder of how far we’ve come as a people, and how we can continue to do better. I want my kids to lead with love, not hate or fear. I hope we can spread that message together.

Sending love to all of your families today! 💗 Have you heard of Loving Day? Or is this news to you? Either way, spread some love and pass it on 💕

There’s a lot of conflicting information going a

There’s a lot of conflicting information going around right now about the future of police work, how it might look going forward, or whether we need them at all. I believe words matter and need to think about the language we’re using when we talk about that future.

I also believe while we’re working to find smart solutions, we can continue to make a difference in our communities, or more specifically, in Black communities RIGHT NOW.

Looking for a way to lend a helping hand? I think it’s really important to donate (time or money) to organizations *you* truly believe in and that you feel will go to a good cause. Passionate about LGBTQ rights? Find a cause that fits the bill. Devoted to mental health support? What nonprofits speak to that cause? Did a mentor program shape you while you were growing up? How could you get involved to pay it forward?

For me, I want to contribute to organizations I feel are helping to improve Black lives, or the Black community 🖤. As well as organizations that are trying to bridge a divide between communities and police 💙🖤. That speaks to me and my heart right now in this place we’re in.

When looking into this I found a lot of nonprofit organizations that seemed to fit the bill. Then did a little further digging into their social media channels and posts to see how they present their missions and work. I narrowed it down further by removing organizations not focused on unifying, and I left mostly national ones. Finally there are 18 organizations our family will be donating to! And I’ve found a few more since then that I’ll soon be adding to the list.

You can find it by clicking on the link in my bio and then this image. If you know a cause I missed I’d love any more suggestions.

If you’ve been struggling to find a cause to support I hope this could serve as a starting point. But continue to do your own digging. Find organizations you can put your heart behind and ask yourself what kind of difference do you want to make.

One thing that’s calming my nerves right now is

One thing that’s calming my nerves right now is plunging myself into backyard projects. I’ve never done a landscaping project before but I’m trying to get a stock tank pool setup for the kids and we’ll, this seemed easy enough. We are a little over halfway there and I’m excited to show you guys the end results if you’re interested. Hopefully just another week or so (with the pace I’m going 🤣). What do you like to do when you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed?

✊🏾 Let’s make the work we’ve done over the past week a habit, not a hashtag.

Sharing, showing up & listening is the easy part, but the real magic happens when no one is looking. 💫 We’re looking to our allies (old and new) to continue this work behind closed doors and beyond last week.

This is a crew I met months ago during Black History Month for a #bibbidibobbidiblack collaboration. 🖤🌈 Was so excited to team up with them again for this.
