Trina is in town with her husband, and Kay and I got to spend part of the day with her. My family has known Trina for years — long before blogging, before DSP looked the way it does today, and before we ever could have imagined how intertwined our worlds would become. Kay knows her well too, thanks to the past few years of DSP Summit in Oregon and visits out here along the way.
Kay and I met Trina at GiGi’s Playhouse Las Vegas so she could see it in person for the first time. Every time I walk through those doors, I’m reminded why this place matters so much. Kay was so excited to show her the space, the energy, and the community that fills it.
One moment I especially looked forward to was Trina standing with Kay in front of the DSP star on the wall. Every star represents belief, generosity, and support — and seeing DSP’s name there feels like a tangible reminder that advocacy doesn’t just live in conversations or content, but in action.
After GiGi’s, we headed back to our house to hang out before dinner later. Nothing fancy. Just real life, real connection, and time together.
Days like this feel like a quiet reminder of how relationships grow, how paths cross and reconnect, and how community shows up in ways both big and small. Some days don’t need a big announcement to feel important — they just are.
