August 2025: paperwork, progress, and the slow creep of burnout.
When life took a turn, I found myself writing poetry instead of policies.

“I used to lie to my kids every Thanksgiving.”

This Crossings story hit like a punch to the gut.
SNAP benefits gone. Food pantries closed. Shame wrapped in gratitude.

COO Diaries: The Missing Week

This week was all signatures, policies, and handbooks — the scaffolding of safety for TAP.
Burnout was rising, but poetry kept me grounded when life hit hard.
