?Happy Friday to all of you, my friends!!!!

Hi, I’m so sorry to yell, but I missed you so much! How the heck are ya? Over here in my life, the school year is almost over, it’s springtime in Texas, I’m genuinely living my best ethical ho life, and there are bluebonnets blooming everywhere. I’ve also been doing some serious learning and growing; I’m earnestly apologizing more often and practicing being vulnerable with my friends. I feel all over the place and sometimes out of control, but it means that I’m moving and growing! And like, damn, what a roller coaster! Good thing I love roller coasters, though, right?

Texas wildflowers someone brought me for a brunch I recently hosted ??

But anyway, today is my one of my favorite days of the year. April 20th, aka 420. It’s an entirely made up holiday, but I love it so much, and it got me thinking that I bet if y’all made up your own holidays that they would be hilarious and amazing and that I would love reading about them. So tell me, if you could make up a holiday, what would it be? When would it be? What would you celebrate? What would you do? Is there a traditional costume? A traditional recipe? Tell me everything! Use your ✨imagination✨ and come up with something amazing!

Or don’t! Maybe you want to tell me about your week, your plants, or how you’re spending 420? I want to know everything that you want to tell me because I love reading your comments so, so, much! I mean that! I love reading everything you write, so I can’t wait to see what you’ve got to say to me! I bet your holidays are gonna be so good!

And if you celebrate, happy 420 pals! Blaze it.
