catching up on social media this weekend… here’s a short update from lotus dance press, my publishing company 🙂 hope everyone is well!
Wow, it’s been over two years since I posted on this site… sheesh.

56 & spectrum
Do I look Autistic? I know, maybe that's in poor taste. Do I look Southern? Or chronically ill? When we pass someone on the street, or reconnect with an old friend, how can we know what they're going through, if they don't tell us? Most of us know we need to tell people when there's … Continue reading 56 & spectrum
