Sometimes being a queer person means I must persevere. šŖš¼š³ļøāš Sometimes it means being stubbornly brave, radically open and audaciously hopeful.

A blessing for when everything hurts at Christmas.
I’ve been taking lots of social media breaks for my self care lately. I think we all crave genuine connection, and sometimes social media only makes us feel isolated, especially during difficult times. This blessing has been on my heart to share for a little while. I know Christmas is hard for so many people,Continue reading “A blessing for when everything hurts at Christmas.”

āStill Staceā published one year ago today, Oct 19th, 2021. Happy Book Birthday, to you!Ā Ā What a year.

Hard Things.
Lately I’ve stepped away from social media, and had to put my phone away more than normal (both things that are good to do from time to time anyway!).

Some British Paints.
Oh gosh. My time here in the UK is not over yet, but this place has changed me somehow. There are things I didnāt know I needed to see, things I didnāt know I needed to feel – or experience.

A Blessing for our beloved trans youth.
The laws happening in Texas targeting trans youth is absolutely breaking my heart. Our trans brothers and sisters (never mind youth) are already such a vulnerable community and they do not deserve this. I wish I could do or say more, & I am struggling. So I wrote this Blessing. Sending so much love toContinue reading “A Blessing for our beloved trans youth.”
HERE TO QUEER Podcast
I was recently invited onto Julie Rodgers’ new podcast “Here to Queer”! We had a lovely conversation about queer books for kids and teens & why they are important.

I hope you FLOURISH.
I was gifted some alone hotel time yesterday (thank you to my wife Tams), and I (obviously) went to the pool asap. I wanted to use this time to think about 2021 and then, 2022. As I floated on the water and my ears dipped under the muted surface, I felt a muffled word riseContinue reading “I hope you FLOURISH.”
