Knocking on doors today I talked to people in AA who are sober and have housing vouchers and still can’t find an affordable place to live. I talked to tenants who have a landlord refusing to renew their lease while flipping empty units and raising rents. This is our why. 💛

24 days ago I learned my daughter was dying in utero, and if untreated I risked preeclampsia and stroke. Termination is illegal in NC after 21 weeks, which I was, even when she had no hope of surviving and I was in danger. Because I had the means to leave, I’m ok and recovering.

“Paradox doesn’t always work for me (okay, never), even though I believe both that we are doomed and that life is a magical, mystical gift. I love it here, love my life, though sometimes it has been devastating and sometimes, politically, a nightmare.” ~@ANNELAMOTT

My affordable housing bill would help start to close the wealth gap between Black & white families caused by decades of housing discrimination by helping first-time homebuyers in formerly redlined or officially segregated areas.

I always thought I’d be a better person by now. But still, after 27 years of sobriety, 10 years of ordination and soooo much yoga, my first reaction to almost everything is, “Fuck You”. I don’t often stay there. But I almost always start there. Oh well. Off to another yoga class
