How many times have you uttered these words to someone who worries about you? I really canโt say that Iโve said them too much. But I have said it. And I regretted it after the fact. I have my reasons. And Iโm trying to make sense of these reasons. Right now Iโm thinking about my ancestry + worrying.hmmm๐คจ Thatโs something to ruminate.
Hereโs the thing. A few weeks ago my cousin Brian L. Bensen and I had lunch at Tessa, a delicatessen on E. Colfax. ๐๐ถ๐๐๏ธ๐บ๐ด๐น๐๐ใ๏ธ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ธ๐ทใ๏ธ๐ต๐ณ๐ฒ๐ถโ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐๐๐ค๐ผ๐คจ Our food was delish and you must go there as soon as possible and try it. Seriously. I had the (4m.5c6s.5m) ๐ฅ๐ฅฌ๐ ๐ฅช, which was ๐๐๐คจ He + I discussed worrying + ancestry + ๐. Interestingly, he informed me that our paternal great-grandfather O.D. Wilson died at the young age of 56 from worrying. It was a sad story + ๐คจ + it was during the time of The Great Depression in the ๐บ๐ธ (8c.5c3s.of 5c5t.)๐๐ค๐ผ๐งง๐๐บ๐ธโ๏ธ
First and foremost, I am a mother, but I am also an educator and an activist. I've been told by my closest friends that I am a fighter, but I actually despise that part of my identity because I really don't enjoy fighting. I write about whatever is on my mind, which feels like a big mess sometimes. I mostly think about my kids and the people they are and how to help them become who they want to be in this world. I love them more than anything in this world. Sometimes I write about giftedness, autism, trauma, schools, mental health and chronic illness because those are all things that affect me. I write about my own life and the people in it and I try not to hurt people's feelings in the writing process. I hope what I write touches peoples hearts and opens peopleโs minds because I think people in our world need to have more understanding and compassion. I'm to tell it like it is.
