Why it pops up for some things and not others I'm not sure. With any strong emotions, I try to breathe with it, be gentle with myself and examine what in myself might need some love and care.

Imposter syndrome comes and goes for me. I was at a meeting representing the Queer Youth Resource center. And that feeling creeped in on me.

As I begin another year of my life, one of the things I need to work to cultivate is spaciousness in my life. I am so task orientated. I need to work to slow down a bit more, to play more, to rest a bit more, to just be more. That is something I inspire to do on this next journey around the sun.

I had an amazing birthday and I felt so loved. On my b-day l did some low-key stuff like walking, reading and taking a nap, things I don't do enough of. As well as having lunch with my mother and going out to dinner and to an arcade with Matt.

But it has pained me to see the rose garden paved over and to see the ugly ballroom, that will be constructed and to see this historical building being tarnished. But I know we'll get to the other side of this and get through it. That this will pass.

Every president starting with John Adams has lived there. It was mostly burned down by the British in 1814, but rebuilt from its original foundation and it has been changed and remodeled many times over the years. Each president making their own unique changes.

One of my favorite historical buildings is the White House. When I was in middle school, I went to DC and got to tour it. We each had to write a report on some aspect of the government or its buildings, and I picked the White House and I still have that report somewhere.

I finally got my car cleaned out and cleaned up. I can pretend I'm going keep it that way, but life happens, so I'll enjoy it for along as it lasts.

All these people wanting to help and support queer youth in a time they so deeply need it. All these people and organizations freely giving of their time and material resources. I was moved to tears by the love and generosity of others.

My cup is full. I had such a fulfilling day spending time in community, with PFLAG, Triple Point, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, VancouBears and of course, with the wonderful board and volunteers of QYRC.

if I'm reading something, it'll make me more nervous so I memorize what it is I am going to say but try to give it the feeling of being spontaneous and in the moment as I am giving upbeat energy, no matter how I'm feeling.

My public speaking skills continue to improve. The other day I spoke to a mental health agency, and I felt it went very well, and a few months ago I spoke briefly to a large crowd that went great. When I speak in front of people,

I could hear @maddow.msnbc.com holding back tears on her show as she talked about what's happening
with immigration enforcement in this country, it started to make me cry.

I can say hello, thank you and count to 3 in Spanish and a few other words I know but can't say well. I feel a little awkward being in a spanish speaking country and not knowing the language. Google translate has been a big help and generally people are really patient.

Does anyone else have the song Two Doors Down song by Dolly Parton stuck in their head.... no, just me? It is certainly not my favorite of hers and there is not many lyrics so it's an easy one to get stuck in my head.

I have a new aspiration and intention, to meet my body and mind where they are at, without judgment or shame, a practice to just meet myself in the moment, in the here and now with love and compassion.

My driver's side door will need to get fixed as sometimes it doesn't actually latch and close correctly. It seems like an important thing to get fixed.

She was not happy about this, but she's a smart cat and seems to understand I was trying to do something. Now that the sample is at the vet, hopefully, more answers will be forthcoming.

I'm very excited I accomplished getting a urine sample from my cat Tida. I had to clear out her litter box, disinfect it and put in these special crystals and then try to convince her to use it.
