In stories I’m sharing the KN95 masks we’ve been wearing, and also talked about the surge happening here in our community, which sparked a convo about COVID shame (especially for folks that have been really careful thus far and are catching it anyway.) It seemed to resonate with a lot of folks. Sharing some of those responses in my stories as well. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kristen Howerton . . .

  An appreciation post of Claire’s faces. @cleezy A few months ago I had the honor of reading a chapter in my friend Rachel Held Evan's book of her last writing before her death. It was incredibly emotional to read her words, particularly the passages I was given, and I had to stop several times along the way to compose myself (if you listen to the audiobook, you will probably hear me fighting back tears.) What a devastating loss to the world. What a friend, who I miss dearly. And . . .

  This crazy kid played a water polo game at 4 and then a football game at 7. Their team had another win, and if you know the history of this team, all these wins are a BIG deal. It’s been a few years since they had even one. (Jafta missed playing in tonight’s game because he had a midterm in his college class womp womp).
