God damn! I've been working on this section for too long trying to figure out what the hot heck to say about me. All the friggin' adjectives and labels, gay, black, lesbian, mom, actor, teacher, friend, meat eater, fat, flower lover, runner...ugh the list could go on and on. It's limiting, freeing and confining all at the same time. I'm restarting blogging so that should tell you something. I guess you will figure that out from reading the blog.
