“I believe that appreciation is a holy thing--that when we look for what's best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we're doing what God does all the time. So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we're participating in something sacred.”

I know I'm posting a lot of incredible women at the Olympics, but please remember that you are also incredible in your own right and that small wins are wins too. You don't need to be the youngest medalist or fastest runner, you just need to be you!! I am really proud of you.

Texas may lead the nation in many ways, but we are failing women. 46.5% of our state is considered a maternal care desert, compared to the 32.6% nationwide. Next session, the #txlege must prioritize policies that improve access to the full range of women’s healthcare services.
