Boy oh boy, what a trip around the sun ~

A year marked equally by grief and beauty.

I’ve been feeling immensely tender the past few days as I move into 32 feeling wholly different from the year before.

And simultaneously more myself than I’ve ever been.

While I endured loss and dismemberment of many aspects of myself and my life, I have also experienced some of the greatest joys.

I fell deeply in love. I rooted into community and relationships that feel like soul family. I deepened into my familial and ancestral ties.

I began tending to a garden and nurturing my connection with the earth. I returned to ancestral homelands on a women’s pilgrimage.

And I began the journey of initiating into motherhood. I lack language large enough to describe how transformative (and humbling) the journey has already been.

It is such a gift to create life and feel held by so much love, as I enter this next chapter. Phew.

Love y’all 🫶🏼 by @alissashan

Life update: I’m deeply in love with @alissashan and we’re having a baby 🌞🥳🚀🕺🏻💃🏻🥰 there’s much I can say but life is so full to cover it all so instead I’ll share some sweet moments going back to our first date. Bonus pic of when I called my mom to share the great news 🌝

Love y’all so much. We’re moving into a home in a few weeks with a big ol’ yard for many community gatherings. I hope to see you soon.

Gracias a Dios. ¡Salud! by @alissashan

Praying—

It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
