My inner child has nothing to do with my race, color, religious or spiritual beliefs, or political leanings.

She isn’t about past mistakes, current insecurities, or worries about the future.

She is innocent and beautiful and full of wonder.

And, gosh darn it,

She loves a parade.

Thanks for readin’.

p.s., This little girl’s mom (who gave me permission to use this photo, and I am absolutely grateful) had an equally beautiful smile. Seeing her watch her child… priceless.
