Adoption is not a solution to abortion nor is it the opposite. Conflating the two separate topics is creating a very harmful rhetoric. #adopteetwitter #adopteevoices #displaced #livedexperience #notyourpawn

I didn't plan to be an author. I just loved to write and heard a story calling. Today my debut novel Beneath the Seams is born! I am a published author! Reader, this story is yours now. May it burrow into your heart and become part of your journey. amazon.com/dp/B0925GYRR2

I hoard cremains. For a Borderline, death = abandonment. A life of abuse, loss, murder, and mental illness, this is my process of learning to let go of the mounting boxes of ashes. #NF #MH #A #OWN #Pitmad

Social Workers are trained to help clients with drug and alcohol problems, but that does not mean they are immune from the problems themselves. I KNOW. Candid words of pain, hope, and humor of my journey to freedom from alcohol dependence. #PitMad #A #NF

THIS IS US x BEHOLD THE DREAMERS An Indian-American brought up at her parent’s roadside motel escapes to India to pursue a high-profile career, but working abroad only leads to confronting the terror that killed her childhood love. Can fear conquer fear? #PitMad #A #WF #OWN

In our “hurry up and get over it” culture, grieving a loss can feel like a lonely journey. LOSE TO WIN will help you to understand and navigate loss and grief from a God perspective. Through biblical examples and personal stories of faith. #Pitmad #A #NF #BVM

‘Black Mirror’+#TT CLOUD monitors one billion citizens—all except one. Saya’s name disappears in the latest update—one that makes people disappear too. She grows torn between using the technology to relive her starlit past or risking her life to destroy it. #PitMad #A #SF #SPF #T
