• This site is ultimately for me - my exploration, understanding, and expression.

    • I create for me, at my own pace, not for anyone else, or to please any algorithm.

    • I set the rules of engagement for myself - and for guests to this site.

    • Respect my and each other’s human dignity, be kind. Hate of any kind is not welcome here.

    • I will share anything I want - but I will share from my scars, not from my wounds

    • I choose what to share or not. I do not owe any part of me to anyone.

    • I am learning in public. I’m a gloriously imperfect and messy human - making mistakes is part of learning.

    • I want to be okay with the cringe I feel looking at what I've made or written over the years! I'd rather feel cringe about my learning process than feel restricted in my expression.

    • Please do share your thoughts and feelings as guests here. I welcome learning with and from you - but only with mutual respect.

    • This is a space for all my various parts to exist and evolve together. I will contradict myself as I grow, I am a changing living entity.

    • Nuance and humility are important. It is okay to say I don't know. It is okay to change my mind.

The values and guidelines for how I aspire to show up here, including how I engage with you as my guest.
