Did we hang out a lot in 2022? Well, no, we didn't. But you're not that surprised, are you? Because life happens and I stop by here and there when life is not lifing and I want to chat. You still love me. I know you do. TSP will always be my 'lil home, even …
Hello, It’s Me.
How are you? May is Mental Health Awareness month and by now, I hope you know that mental and emotional health and sustainment are big priorities for your Square Peg. It surpasses the month of May, yes, but always worth mentioning when we have dedicated days, too. I want all of us to be okay, …
GIF It Up, GIF It Up.
I figured I'd write a ton of paragraphs to describe how life has been so far, but I type all day. And though I'm not complaining about typing all day, I love GIFs, so let's tell the story a different way, shall we? And hi! Are you good? 1. But I did, Katy Perry. Again. …
