“There’s so much BS in the world. We pursue bigger cars, bigger houses and bigger salaries that we become so materialized we can barely stand honesty, vulnerability and spirituality. That all changes around death.” - Caleb Wilde

“Stories are light. Light is precious in a world so dark. Begin at the beginning. Tell Gregory a story. Make some light.”
― Kate DiCamillo

A month ago an old friend and his son were tragically killed in a car accident. His other two children and wife were also badly injured in the crash but are warriors and on the path to recovery. There is a online fundraiser to help the family with medical bills. I'm donating a photography session but there are over a hundred of other things to bid on as well if anyone wants to support a great cause. https://events.readysetauction.com/weirwarriorfundraiserbgclub/weirswillwin/catalog/item/230

One of my oldest friends and I had been talking about doing a photoshoot together for years now. She was kind enough to arrange everything and it finally happened one night in downtown Portland. Both were fab to work with.

Oftentimes children ask a lot of questions in their pursuit of a greater understanding of the world. I think one of the most important things a parent, relative, guardian, or mentor can do for a child is to stop our egos from trying to simply mold the child in our own image. Rather to challenge children at a young age to think critically and consider all possibilities so they can decide for themselves. While important to share our own opinions with children, I think it's important to label it as an opinion to the child,and then state why others oppose their opinion. Most of us (myself included) tend to have clear viewpoints on religion, politics, government, guns, capitalism, vaccines, immigration, equality, climate change, universal heath care, conflicts with foreign countries, and freedom. If we can't make an argument for the opposing view, I'm not entirely certain we understand the argument.
