I caved

I caved and I now have my own blog.

I'm ashamed, and there might not be anything blogworthy, but here it is anyway.

The Return of "The L Word"

Image
On January 31, 2019 it was announced that The L Word is officially getting a sequel and lesbians around the world rejoiced. The series originally ran on Showtime from January 18, 2004 to March 8, 2009. I bought the first couple of seasons on DVD while I was a BYU student in 2006. And while I wasn’t “out,” I was out without being out. I displayed the box sets prominently on my bookshelf in my tiny apartment bedroom where I also had posters for the films Imagine Me and You , Brokeback Mountain and RENT hanging on my walls. When the show debuted, most of the gay TV shows were primarily about gay men. Now, because of The L Word , you can turn on the TV and, on many shows, you will see women presenting themselves as gay, lesbian, queer, trans and everything in between. That representation matters. Being able to turn on the TV and see your life reflected back to you is powerful and transformative. The L Word  accomplished so many firsts: television’s first deaf lesbian, Jod

My nana

Image
Yesterday, my sweet, loving nana passed away. She was my last living grandparent, and is very missed. I've been lucky to have her with me in my life for so long. I've also been lucky to live in the same city as her for most of my life. She was one of the nicest people, always serving others, and her passing has certainly left a hole. A memorial service will be held for her this coming Saturday, August 27th and the Forest Hill building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 6300 Crawford Ln W, Forest Hill, Texas. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures of us. The first is at my college graduation. The second is when she came with my aunt Karen, Emily and Kara to visit me, and we went to Cornbelly's. She had a great sense of humor. Nana, we love you and miss you.

A Tribute to my Nana

Image
My Nana was a wonderful woman, and is definitely missed. She's probably one of the kindest people I have ever had the opportunity of knowing. While we were getting ready for her memorial service I had the opportunity of digging through old photos to come up with a slide show. We ended up using 124 pictures in the slide show, and I think people enjoyed it. I've decided to share some of my personal favorite pictures of my Nana. I think I like this picture so much because of the contrast between the dark colors that Nana is wearing and the white rock behind her. It strikes me for some reason. I think it's beautiful. Nana loved nature. (You'll probably come to realize that when looking at these pictures.) This is from my last October in Provo when Nana, Karen, Emily and Kara came to visit me. I liked when they came to visit and that time we went to Cornbelly's. Nana had a great sense of humor. I'm very glad that Nana was able to come to my college gradua
