42 Years Old. A new chapter, a new year. About 20 years ago, I took a Chinese Philosophy course that changed my world, changed my perspective. I was in a deep functional depression, felt trapped, felt used and broken, and felt very lost. It was this literature that pulled me out and not only supported me in gaining a new perspective and direction...but also redirected my light to those who were wanting and willing to accept it for what it was...for who I was.

I surely ain't perfect, I am surely still learning, and I am still on this healing journey. However, I have been able to find and continue to find my peeps. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Love you

Two years ago I moved back to Kingston with my wife . That first summer, I met someone named Hill from . Dozens of conversations, dozens of hugs, hundreds of buttons, hundreds of HHNHH posters, sharing the good and rough times, oh, and a photo shoot later...here we are.

Thank you for making this custom piece.
It means a lot to me and my clients.

June is Pride Month.

Be seen. Be heard. Be Authentically YOU!

You are worthy of love and acceptance exactly as you are. NEVER let anyone dim your light.

Your identity is a strength, your resilience is awe-inspiring, and your voice has the power to change your corner of the world.

There is a whole community cheering you on; you are never alone on this journey.

Happy Easter / Happy Long Weekend.
I just needed to realign, get my mind into nature, and take a moment to breathe.

The sky was blue, the wind was crisp, and the ground was welcoming. XOXO

I need to change my focus for the rest of the year.
