Took a hike through the Augusta, MI part of the North Country National Scenic Trail and got to meet so many friends! I spent a lot of the time listening to frogs, birds, and some strange animal I couldn't identify. I also fed a lot of mosquitoes. But it was an amazing time just experiencing nature.

A mailbox in Kalamazoo that I was super happy to see! Happy Pride!!

In this episode of Matt's Magical Backyard...a curious bunny! This furry little baby decided to be adventurous and check out the driveways. They were too young to be judgy about the cracks and broken bits, just happy to be exploring the world. We sipped coffee and chatted about growing up.

I laughed more than I should have.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

This. It's so hard to see all the hype and cheer for a 'best of' or award post, and not asking "why not me?". You are okay for feeling this way. Just remember, someone loves what you wrote. And most readers don't choose stories/books because it won something. Go to a bookstore and ask, you'll see.

Authors: there’s a scam going around where the scammer claims someone wants to trademark or copyright the title of your book. Naturally you just have to pay (the scammer) so you can keep your book title! Say it with me: you cannot copyright book titles 😘
