Happy Mother's Day to all the hopeful mamas-to-be who it just hasn't happened for yet. I see all of you and am sending all the flowers to your hopeful ready-to-be-mama hearts. Today can be tough, but chin up -- our roses will bloom one day. ❤

I haven't cried almost at all since November and I've cried multiple times watching the #GRAMMYs tonight. And I know that sounds silly, but I'm processing that and relearning that art plays such as an important -- even crucial -- role in oppressive, turbulent times.

I woke up this morning and thought, "Have they broken my spirit?" And the resounding answer my spirit gave was "not even close." So, here we go. One day at a time. Don't let them grind you down.
