As a SoCal transplant navigating life among the trees of the PNW, I am making room in my life for the things I have always put off – writing & travel – while still trying to be fully present as a parent, spouse & decent human. A lifelong Republican who has always identified as a social liberal and fiscal conservative, I have been experiencing second & third thoughts about politics, social-racial-economic relations, and the general social discourse in America today. This is my sandbox to throw ideas around, build theories and examine current social and political issues while welcoming your feedback each time I hit “publish.”
