I'll be at Utah Pride this year on Saturday and Sunday, June 7&8! πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Come find me at the Conversion Therapy Survivor Network booth where I'll be signing copies of Worthy for purchase. All proceeds will benefit CTSN and the work they do to support CT survivors, like me. 🧡

It's not a good fit for me. I've felt that same zeal to share the Good News with others, like when I served a full-time mission for the Mormon church for 18 months. It helps you and you want it to help me. It doesn't.

I'm good. I don't have any interest in joining another faith community.
Even if your church is different.
Even if your church has an open and affirming accreditation.
Even if your congregation read my book and felt seen and understood.
Even if you're not officially a church.

...your fellow humans, to call out unacceptable behavior, and to defend yourself and your loved ones. That's what voices are for. And a little loud laughter never hurt anyone either.😁 2/2

Get uncomfortable with the discomfort of speaking up. The church taught us to avoid conflict at all cost, "contention is of the devil." We were only allowed to speak fiercely if it was in defense of the church. That's not a thing. Use your powerful voice for good. Use it to uplift and support... 1/2

I dedicated Worthy to her because without her, there would not have been a book, or a life of success and fulfillment. She has grown so much professionally since the days when she coached me, and I will be forever grateful for her support and encouragement. Love you, my dear friend! 🩡🀟

This human has been my best-kept secret for 8+ years! World, please meet Christine Walker, the coach who showed me I could write a few more chapters in my book of life, that could be filled with hope, light, and happiness. Plus, she introduced me to the dirty chai!β˜•

My friend from the olden days, Karen Field, is the Kevin Bacon of Maine. πŸ₯“ Everyone knows her and I'll admit I drop her name sometimes, just to establish some local clout and to piggyback on her fame/infamy.

The Emporium in Bangor, Maine, is my go-to local source for all things Pee-wee! Thanks for the mug and magnets, my friend. I'll be back often to check for new inventory. BTW, they sell other cool fandom stuff, and specialize in horror movie merch. Check out their calendar of events!
