Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

Do Your Own Thing

It’s hard to do your own thing. Going your own way. Forging a different path. It can be challenging and sometimes lonely. The one thing I can say is that being original can be fun. Through it all you find your tribe who can share the journey. We need people who can fly their freak flags with pride. To those who are in their own version of the Hellfire Club more power to you. If any of you are finding your own path, you have my support.
