a+g monthly newsletter: february 2024
Happy February, blue fam! If we’re being honest, this month (especially the past week) has felt anything but happy. The war on cops is running rampant and we continue to see more and more of our blue family attacked, gunned down, and killed. It’s heartbreaking, infuriating, and so, so scary.

a prayer for the days that you hate blue life
Some days I struggle with blue life. Maybe it’s due to another report of an officer down, a new unbelievable policy, a horrible news article, or a mandatory overtime shift.

small acts of kindness + christmas magic
Yesterday I braved the hordes of last minute shoppers and made a mad dash to Target for some very special little toys. The other day our officers worked a DUI crash. One of the cars involved held a small family who had their trunk full of Christmas gifts for their little boy, who was also … Continue reading small acts of kindness + christmas magic
the weight of the badge
The other morning my officer got home from work just as I was getting ready for work myself. As he was getting ready for bed and I was heading out the door, I asked him how his shift was. “It was a rough one” was all he said.
