Dear Friends, Happy February! It is a rainy day here in San Diego. I am cozy in a coffeeshop with Tara. It is crowded here with people working or trying to work but trapped on social media or chatting away. I love this kind of bustle. I feel like I am part of something whenContinue reading “Rainy February”

Dear Friends, Today I have an unpleasant task: I need to go to the USCIS (US Citizenship & Immigration Services) office. Ugh. It is all because of a mistake they made, which has caused me months of stress and really added to my sister’s stress too. They are a remarkably inefficient and incompetent agency. UnlessContinue reading “Immigration”

Dear Friends, I am wanting to do a quick post about my mom. You don’t hear that much about her, because she is a bit shy and she does the kind of background support that is so important but so routine. She is not the kind to care much about public recognition. But I wantContinue reading “Mom Appreciation Post”

Dear Friends, I am so overwhelmed with appreciation for your support of the shirts! Wow. I am so grateful! I realize that this is another post about selling things. But I just realized that Valentine’s Day is coming up soon. So I need to start getting these cards out! These are the same designs offeredContinue reading “Heart Day coming up”

Dear Friends, I am glad to share that we finally have “Nonspeaking, Very Verbal” shirts to sell! We decided to try Bonfire. It is our first Bonfire campaign, so please let us know how we can improve if needed. I am so excited to get one myself! I look forward to seeing folks wearing theirs.Continue reading “Announcing Nonspeaking, Very Verbal Shirts”

Dear Friends, I am finally feeling stable these days. I still have flare-ups of dysregulation, but it is manageable. I actually feel so optimistic! It is a good way to feel after weeks of turmoil. I have some exciting projects and goals. I am so feeling motivated and energized by them. I think you willContinue reading “All so ready for this year”

Dear Friends, I am feeling more like myself these days. There is still a lot of energy to wrangle, but I am coping. I want to ask if there are any women spellers who would be interested and able to contribute a piece to Leo in Bloom magazine for our February issue. Our theme isContinue reading “Calling women speller writers!”

Dear Friends,I am so grateful to have a wonderful community. You are all so kind and I feel your friendship. In the interest of keeping this an oasis of kindness online, I am establishing some boundaries (this is mainly for Facebook and Instagram): Thank you for respecting these guidelines! I am only responding to aContinue reading “CODE OF CONDUCT”

Dear Friends, Happy New Year! Wow, I am excited to meet 2024. I hope it is a kind one. One big goal I have is to become a hired public speaker. I know, a bit counterintuitive for a nonspeaker! But great public speakers who are nonspeaking are already out there. They are making things happen.Continue reading “One goal”

Dear Friends, A year closing, another emerging. It has been a tumultuous ending to this year. But I am able to appreciate where I am. It has been a full year! I am so proud of another year of growth and advocacy. And a year of visiting family, to the west and east, with allContinue reading “New Year’s Message”
