This week was somehow short and long at the same time. Monday was a day off, due to the MLK holiday. And I'm leaving Friday night to attend the Women's March in Washington, DC. It's a quick turn and burn - leave Friday night, arrive Saturday morning, march on Saturday, hop back on the bus. Back home early Sunday morning.

Depending on the time you read this, I'll probably be either:

a) riding on a bus
b) asleep on that same bus
b) hopped up on iced coffee, friendship, and good vibes
c) recovering in my own bed, with every notification and electronic turned off.

Can't march? Wanna tag along with me in spirit? I'm bringing my favorite black Sharpie, and I'm not afraid to use it! Shoot me a message on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram, and I'll write your name (or anyone else you'd like, male or female) on my arm. We'll walk together.

To follow my progress on the march, follow me on Twitter or Facebook. I'll probably keep photos of the march off of Instagram, I'm not quite sure yet. But I'll have a bunch of inspiration for my Poems Before Breakfast series. We'll see where the weekend takes me.

Here's what's buzzing around the internet hive:
