THE COMMUNITY

Come inside.

A place to share resources, find friends, get your questions answered by people who’ve been through it, and keep up with what I’m working on. Foster parents, adoptive families and people who want to help.

It’s free, and it stays free. The only thing it costs is showing up.

TWO DOORS, ONE HOUSE

Pick whichever you already use.

Same people, same conversations. Most folks end up in both.

The Facebook group

The biggest room, and the easiest way in if you’re already on Facebook.

  • A daily question so nobody has to be the first to talk
  • Polls that decide what we build next (the Zooms came from one)
  • Resource threads: closets, agencies, the stuff nobody tells you
  • Where new people say hi and get greeted by name

The Discord

The living room. Voice rooms, game nights, and where supporters’ rooms live.

  • Channels by topic, so a question about licensing doesn’t get buried
  • Voice hangs and game nights
  • Drop your Discord name on your Your Light page and I’ll turn your role on, usually the same day.
  • The supporters-only channel and the VIP room, if that’s you

One door opens both. Leave your name and I’ll send you the way in.

Join both here
ON ZOOM

Two rooms a month for everyone, and one more for supporters.

The community voted, and the answer was: put everybody in one room. So that’s what we do. Day and time are set by the community poll, not by me.

FOR EVERYONE

The Community Zoom

Anyone in the community · monthly

A guest speaker, an issue worth understanding, a nonprofit doing real work, and the room that asks the questions. Meet the people behind the names.

FOR FOSTER PARENTS

The Foster Parent Zoom

Foster, adoptive and kinship parents · monthly

Not a class. A room where you can say the thing you can’t say at the agency and hear “us too” back. Questions answered by people who’ve lived them.

Next up
FOR SUPPORTERS

The Supporters Zoom

Kitchen Table and up · monthly

The smaller room, just us. What I’m working on, what I’m stuck on, and whatever you want to talk about. Comes with a light on the wall.

THE LAUNCH ZOOM

Sunday, October 11 · 3 PM Central

The first time the whole community is in one room. A meet-and-greet, where this is all going, and what a porch light has to do with it. Bring a coffee.

Free. Cameras optional. The link goes out the day before, to everyone who saves a seat.

“We greet people by name. First-timers get welcomed home. Nobody stands in the doorway alone.”
SAVE MY SEAT
WHAT IT COSTS

Nothing. That’s the point.

The community, the Zooms and everything I make stay free because a small group of monthly supporters keeps the light on. If you ever want to be one of them, the door is over there. If you don’t, you’re just as welcome in this house.

Don’t give me money you shouldn’t be giving. If a light costs you groceries, keep the groceries. I mean that.

Every dollar funds the music, the videos, the streams and this community. It never funds my ability to foster.
