From an early age, sisters Lindsay and Kasey knew they were born to perform. Music always filled their home - from Broadway to country and everything in between. Lindsay fell in love with performing after joining a children's show troupe, and it wasn't long before Kasey was following in her footsteps. From their debut in "The Sound of Music" at a local theater, to their regular performances of the national anthem, the sisters found an audience wherever they could, and over the years starred in numerous shows. The sisters each represented their home state as Miss Maryland - Lindsay in 2010 and Kasey in 2013. Performing at events for the USO, Special Olympics and the Children's Miracle Network gave them a deep sense of purpose. Despite challenges, the sisters have always remained true to their values. They hope to inspire others with their passion, determination, and voices, both on and off stage.
When you’re a kid like Gavin Grimm, you know yourself best. And Gavin knew that he was a boy—even if others saw him as a girl. But when his school took away his right to something as simple as using the boy’s restroom, Gavin knew he had a big decision to make. Because there are always more choices than the ones others give you.
Gavin chose to correct others when they got his pronouns wrong. He asked to be respected. He stood up for himself. Gavin proved that his school had violated his constitutional rights and had the Supreme Court uphold his case—bringing about a historic win for trans rights. There are many kids out there, some just like Gavin Grimm, and they might even be you.
Written and illustrated by an all-trans creative team, IF YOU’RE A KID LIKE GAVIN is a beautifully depicted picture book that shows progress is possible through community activism.

Surprise! Another cloudy day! Combine that with fewer hours of day light due to daylight savings time and now we've got some emotional issues. Moving beyond with what toils with your heart requires more than a positive attitude. The activation demands physical movement. Multitudes of people think racing off to the gym will fix that. Pull the lens back. The local workout hut is a series of subliminal walls displaying impatient negative fuel. News, talk shows, sports, sitcoms dealing with reality. Those on the treadmill, stationary bike or pumping the weights might be creating a flow in their blood system but their hearts are being poisoned by CNN, Fox, Maurey Povich and other content driven connections. Breaking free of those constant devices requires a conversation with yourself. Plant love in your heart. Plant it nice and deep. It only feels weird when you're not in the mood. Sit down with a sheet of paper and have a conversation with yourself. Learning more about why you push stuff away. Pick up on little hints that you'll need to locate longer more explosive victories. Planting love in your heart starts with making that first conversation a reality.

While walking through the forest I took note of the tree limbs drooping. Research shows that this is a sign of tree stress. As a human you want to do all you can to help relieve the pain from the tree. Arborists say to put tree bark and or mulch at the base. To give it nutrients. Having a relationship with a forest means communication. The type that most prefer to tune out. Until their personal lives become stressed and their limbs begin to droop. What's missing from your within that can't seem to be found? What would serve as the best nutrients? Nature hold's so many answers. We're guilty of allowing the loudest to step within. Or we've become persistent in making sure we're in total control of what's allowed. Sadly, that invites the perfectionist. Take walks. Learn to allow the outside atmosphere speak directly into you. Seems kind of odd to experience until you realize there's more of you out there then physically inside of you. Grow forward.
A deadly strike on Ukraine now includes two missiles hitting Poland. Ukraine is dark and the world is waiting for answers. NATO's chief says, "It's not Ukraine's fault. The deadly strike was likely fired by Ukraine's defenses. But Russia beats ultimate responsibility." It's been nearly two weeks since Joe and I spent a moment together. Overlooking the darkness he struggles to locate enough digital space to keep our conversation connected.
We were designed to be unique and different. Allow their to be calm with all that is indifferent.
