                                     Dinner and bedtime is the time for questions and open conversations with our kids. Sometimes they are nonsensical easy going conversations and sometimes they are the type of conversations that are hard to have.   Last night's dinner topic: Racism and Allyship Our son is 8 years old and I'm sure there are plenty of people who will think: isn't he too young to be putting the worlds problems on his shoulders?!

The location where I was assaulted was less than a 20 minute drive from my home and only minutes from where we would shop downtown. Being able to minimize my anxiety going out in public has been crucial to my healing process. I used ..read more
