I'm a believer in Jesus, an HSP, mom of 3 adult sons, wife, professional photographer, author, and lover of creation. When I'm not wrangling words or making photos, I'm probably biking, kayaking, or on a long walk. Finishing edits on For the Love of Women.

That's part of why this line from @shaunaiequist 's I Guess I Haven't Learned that Yet, speaks to me: "Prayer is a way to entrust the people we love to God, esp. when things feel out of control." Still working the trust angle.
I started praying before I knew what I was doing or who I was praying to. It has been an essential part of my life. And yet, over the course of the past 18 mos, I've lost so much confidence & comfort re prayer. There is a sort of deconstruction happening. ...
I look forward to the day when churches not only have mothers stand and hand them a rose on Mothers' Day but let every women who wants to mother a child via adoption, fostering, or birth to know they will never have to struggle to pay for diapers, formula, or child care. #MothersDay
Itβs all too easy to criticize and denounce Bezos, Musk, and Zuckerbergβs oppulent lifestyles. But if Iβm honest, the line between greed and contentment can be tough to discern. Greed's Pull open.substack.com/pub/dorothyl...

Yes. "Trump is about power. The only way heβs going to be stopped is if heβs confronted by some movement that possesses rival power." Whatβs Happening Is Not Normal. America Needs an Uprising That Is Not Normal. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...
To be clear, not that I think he should be above the law. I'm pretty sure that's fascism.
He is truly above the law. And yes, he did accurately prophesy ab out his future.
So essentially what the admin is communicating is anyone they dislike, for any reason, even if it's as simple as offending Trump's enormous but very fragile ego, could be captured and deported. No questions asked. We have descended into fascism.
OOF! That hits hard.

Dismantling the very institutions responsible for training the next cohort of doctors, scientists, teachers and thinkers needed to address these issues and de-funding the research that would lead to further breakthroughs in every field is unfathomable. open.substack.com/pub/dorothyl...

It's becoming increasingly clear that Trump is little more than a willing puppet controlled by Musk. Musk was not elected, but is wielding the power, or the chain saw. Their choices are evil and will have horrific long-term consequences for Americans and the world. What's happening is shameful.
Great story. Thanks for sharing.
Curious to hear what other writers/creative types are thinking abt or doing regarding staying or leaving X. Bcz I refuse to pay, my post views have tanked. I have a book coming out in 6 mo. but the book is on misogyny. I'm guessing not too many folks on X give a damn about this topic. Time to go?

At what point do you think Christian MAGA supporters will be willing to concede Trump is not a baby Christian? (I think it's safe to say he's not even an embryo Christian.)

Over the past 2 yrs, friends have told me that I must be either brave or crazy to tackle this subject. I didnβt necessarily feel brave as I was creating it but now that launch is only 8 months out, Iβm beginning to feel much less so. dorothylittellgreco.substack.com/p/on-writing...
