There is a part during Cute Without The E where we stop and let the crowd sing, “Why can’t I feel anything from anyone other than you.” That has become an unbelievably moving moment for me.

It’s disheartening to see how rampant sexual abuse by men is, but the reason all of this is coming out is that people are finally hearing victims & taking them seriously. There’s been a huge cultural shift & it’s a positive one.

Yesterday my 3 year old gave me a hug she calls, “A super, mega huggie”. She squeezed me as hard as she could for almost a minute. It was so beautiful I almost cried. After that she lifted up my shirt & asked, “Why’s your tummy fat?” Being a parent is a wild ride.
