One Woman's Message to Donald Trump

Don't be afraid of Alec Baldwin. Or Kate McKinnon. Or Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Don't be afraid of Hillary Clinton. Or Bernie Sanders. Or Elizabeth Warren.

Don't be afraid of Malcolm Turnbull. Or the Mexicans. Or even ISIS.

Be afraid of me, Donald.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm a 41 year old college-educated white woman.

I was raised Roman Catholic.

I went K-12 in our public schools and I went to a private Marianist university.

I am married.

I didn't vote for you.

You cannot con me.

I don't buy into your branding of the world.

I am a human.

I am a thinker.

I believe in the power of good over evil.

And I was born to take you down, Donald.

This isn't some threat of violence -- I don't deal in the garbage that you do. This is merely a promise to safeguard my country and the people in it.

You, Donald, are a danger to my country. You are my country's greatest terrorist threat. And I will not sit idly by as you continue to destroy the freedoms that my country is supposed to strive for.

I may only be one but there are millions of me.

You have been put on notice.

The Win is in The Fight

I am an artist, first and foremost. I have known since the beginning of my memories that I was born to write. That has always been my identity. That has always been how I've seen myself.

I glory in that. I wear it like a badge of honor. I have a gift. A real gift. I sit. I put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard and words just seem to appear. I see myself go through the entire process but in some very real ways, it feels magical. I don't map things out. I don't make writing a science. I don't sketch before I draw my words.

I have no qualms with those who do. It's just not me.

I love my gift. I cherish it. It makes me proud.

But there are conditions to the type of gift I have.

I know, deep down in my soul, that it is my duty to live the life of an artist. It is in the very fibers of my being that I use my voice and my art to try and make the world a better place.

I like writing fiction a lot. I like writing everything a lot, to be honest. But more so than that, it is my privilege to turn letters into text into ideas. It is my honor to help speak the important thoughts and beliefs that will hold our planet and its people together.

My soul signed a contract before I was given this gift and I feel that pact in the way I move, the way I think, the way I love. My voice will never be silenced. I have made sure that is impossible. And my voice will be used to promote freedom, equality and love.
