Holidays can be hard. Make sure you take care of you.
Holidays can be hard. They are for me. But they’re also getting a bit lighter and better because I’m not being abused and tortured anymore, and because of some good people in my life. And also because I have a voice through my books, and I know that my books help people. So…pain and sadness can ease and change.If you need to take time for yourself, do it. If you need to read or watch a movie or connect with a friend or cuddle an animal then do that. Do what you need to do for you and take good, gentle care of yourself.
I am so grateful for the dear friends I have in my life. For sweet little Petal. For my books being published and reaching readers. For being safe now. And for such a lovely online community. I hope you can find things to feel grateful for, too. I think it helps.

How awesome is this new Canadian $10 bill that features Viola Desmond
How awesome is this new Canadian $10 bill that features Viola Desmond, a Canadian Black businesswoman who challenged racial segregation and injustice at a cinema in Nova Scotia in 1946, and fought the ridiculous, racist charges after being arrested. Viola helped raise awareness about Canadian segregation, and this led to getting rid of Nova Scotia’s segregation laws. You can read more about her on blackhistorycanada.caDecember 22, 2018
