Love, Poetry, Social Justice
Love, Poetry, Social Justice live it to give it is all about love and connection. Being authentic. Living our lives and sharing it with others. Life is messy and so is this blog. Somedays my organized coach self shows up. Other days it's my vulnerable author. There's a mom that lives inside me alongside a wife, friend, social justice activist, creative muse, ponderer extraordinaire, and multitude of others. I'll introduce you to people who inspire me and offer a peek into my world that very likely intersects with your world. In other words, I will share life in its full, glorious mess with you. I'm honored you're here and I hope you'll come back soon!! Cheers! Kayce

Black History isn't simply a "month"
Sunday, February 28, 2021 at 3:36 PM In this piece I share a few of the voices and resources I’ve been exploring this past month in the hopes that you will find something that sparks your own invitation to know better and do better. To enter in with eyes open to discovery, knowing once you begin there will be things you can’t “unsee.” This work is not for the faint of heart, but most things worth achieving aren’t.

mind wanderings from abolitionism to zen
Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at 10:46 AM Over time, I have collected a bag full of trickster practices that I use to encourage myself to write or paint or get out of bed when life feels overwhelming or uninspired or just plain scary. One of them is what I call an #abcprompt. Learn about it + resources for social justice, mindfulness, and more

On curiosity, education, & privilege
Wednesday, September 2, 2020 at 4:03 PM White privilege is never having to consider the color of one's skin, because it is the default "color" on which the United States is based. If a reader experiences anger or discomfort with my statement that says 'I’m privileged,' then my invitation would be to consider what's happening. Why the response? What if they turned up curiosity toward the topic or themselves rather than rushing to fix the problem or dismiss my point of view? In my experience, curiosity is expansive and leads to conversation. Rigidity and judgment push empathy to the back seat and overshadow the issue at hand.
