Today I am thankful for...

Welcome to my gratitude blog, which was formerly my 365 project (posts 5/30/10 - 5/30/11). I will continue posting 10 things for which I am grateful to help me (and maybe you too) stay positive.

Here's to optimism, gratitude, and all the simple pleasures of life :)

Calpernia

Question 11: Your favorite LGBT book or one you’d like to read.

Someday I’d like to read Mark 947: A Life Shaped by God, Gender, and Force of Will’ by Calpernia Addams.

Question 12: Your favorite LGBT movie.

Soldier’s Girl, hands down. Lee Pace did an amazing job of portraying Calpernia Addams. This was one of the most inspiring and heartbreaking films I’ve ever seen. Fun fact: I met Calpernia during Trans Awareness Week at SJSU before watching the movie. She is a beautiful soul and I am so glad that she is still positive and strong after all the things she went through.
