My crocuses are out, and I’m ridiculously thrilled. They push through the cold, bloom before it feels safe, and remind me that courage doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. Thanks, crocuses, for showing up when the world still feels inhospitable.

I try to do something weird every day (weirder than my baseline) to keep grounded. Yesterday, I sang my to-do list to the houseplants. They don’t judge me...I control the watering. Today, mismatched dog socks to a personnel meeting?

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done to keep your sanity intact?

At the 50501 protest in D.C.. The urgency of now! So many voices and stories, all saying: we refuse to look away from injustice and dehumization. Never underestimate the power of showing up. Presence is resistance, and we are here #50501

If you’re breathing, you’re still here. And if you’re here, you matter. That’s enough for today.
