I got Pedro'd!

8/24/2013

Being Pedro'd has been a longtime ambition of mine, friend!

Pedro Fins, an Australia-based fictional character or something (but I secretly am pretty sure he's a kiwi and you know about my love of kiwis and Aotearoa, my 3rd home, ghurl!), animates social media updates and tonight he animated mine!

My Facebook post - "I need more me time than I had originally thought" - was inspired by my increasing commitment to self-care and the realization that as much as I luuuurve a completely filled social calendar with multiple friend dates, zoo visits, beach blanket selfies sessions, and romps with cute boys stacked right atop the other (titter) I actually need down time just for me to recoup, recenter, and remind myself that whatever is happening it's just the hypochondria talking, darling!

So, thank you, Pedro, for immemorializing this sentiment <3

    WHY IS THERE NO COMMENTS SECTION?
    I have permanently closed the comment section on my blog as of 8/20/15 so that I can better utilize the time I had previously dedicated to moderating comments. I encourage folks who have thoughts about my work to go out and have a conversation with someone about what you loved (or hated.. boo) about my writing over coffee.
