Hello Everyone!! Welcome to this week's installment of the KaRonicle. As promised, I decided to do a LGBTQ+ icons series. Through the rest of the month there will be two new icons that I give a brief history on. In this episode, I talked about Marsha P. Johnson and Harvey Milk. In no way are these histories inclusive of all that they have done. I wanted to at least bring awareness to them for people to get more familiar.  Marsha P, Johnson Harvey Milk If you are feeling inspired please head over to the Marsha P.

 Hello Everyone!! Welcome to this installment of the KaRonicle blog posts. In this episode, we had another special guest, my friend, Tina. She joined me to talk a little about some self-care and why it is important, especially in this time. This episode was a little more structured because I wanted to make sure I got my point across at how important self-care is to all of us. Tina was such a great guest and provided a lot of great insight into self-care. I look forward to having her on again.  I think the biggest take away about self-care is really explained in this picture I don't think we said it enough in the episode but self-care is not selfish, it is making sure that you are able to taken care of so that you are able to take care of or help others in your life. Always remember this!!  Below is a link to the transcript for the episode Transcript Thank you for listening and for your support.

Hello Everyone! Welcome back to this blog. Since we are all quarantined for a while, I wanted to make some time to pick up on my blog again. These posts will be as lighthearted and happy as possible. I wanted my first post back to be something inspirational. I think at this time in our world, everyone needs a little bit of inspiration. The quote I picked is by Walt Whitman.

It also says don't look back at those stressful situations but keep looking forward and the past will stay in the past. I hope that this quote speaks to other people the way that it spoke to me today. Feel free t
