from www dot something this week

I wish I had time to read more: novels, books, blogs, etc. Sadly, I don’t.

From what I am able to read each week though, there is at least one thing I read that makes. me. stop.

At least one thing that makes me feel as if someone had hacked my brain to write it.

Hacked because I couldn’t agree more …

but not, because I could never have written something so powerful.

This week? It was a post by Kristen Howerton of Rage Against the Minivan.

Kristen is one of the most well spoken, hysterical, wise + intentional writers. When I met her a few years ago, I immediately was drawn to our mutual [might I call it obsession?] love for Broadway musicals.

Yesterday I found myself nodding as I read her thoughts, so thankful that she had written them.

She poses the challenge of what we should be asking ourselves, instead of the title of her post: why are so many celebrities adopting black babies?

“…what we as a nation can do for the thousands of waiting children who won’t be adopted by a couple dozen celebrities.” – Kristen Howerton

read her post in its entirety here.

+ then because it’s Saturday, and I loved this video when I saw it posted …. I think y’all should watch it too.
