Today is National Sibling Day.
My heart hurts 💔 so badly as I think
about how it has been nearly a year since I suddenly lost my sibling.
I want to share him with you all.
Daniel was a dynamic, creative, frustratingly stubborn (that runs in the fam😉) curious, and artistically talented human.
I miss him everyday.
I think he’s proud of me and the work that I do to help my community.
💗 At least that’s my hope.
I’ll share a few more pictures of us throughout the week.
This is one of my favs. My mother helped instill a childhood love for reading within both of us from a young age.
It’s no surprise that I now advocate for early childhood education. 📚 💕

I am proud to have my MESD School Board re-Election campaign endorsed by Stand For Children Oregon.
They are wonderful advocates and huge champions of childhood literacy and early education.

Using someone’s correct pronouns is one of the most basic ways to respect their humanity.
In honor of International Pronoun Day, I would like to share a website where you can practice using pronouns like you would in everyday conversation.
Pronouns / Minus18
Pronouns are basically words used to refer to a person other than their name. When a trans person comes out they may have new pronouns they want to use
