Life is Tender and Embracing the Joy of Others

April 28 2023

Last Friday a good friend learned they’d be moving from the community.

They have such big, bright, beautiful energy. Their absence has left a hole in my heart, dimming the experience of living here.

At times, participating in life is tender. Be sure to seize those moments, surrender to them, lest they be gone in an instant. ❤️💋❤️ (Photo of the beautiful sky just now.)

Wonderful walk this morning before it gets too warm.

Something I’ve noticed after being around for half a century 😱, there are those who judge and feel threatened when others share their light and joy. And there are those who embrace it when they observe others exuding their joy, joining with them, and sharing their own joy and light. This leaves both parties feeling uplifted, ignited in some cases.

I hope more of us can learn to be the latter. ❤️❤️❤️ Imagine.

Signs of Spring With Wild Flowers on Walks

April 23 2023

Signs of spring on a walk last week. I love when the wee little flowers emerge from their slumber.

I was strolling through Twitter last night, laughing at the blue check mark shit show, mixed with posts of a baby otter eating a snack, and another simply asking, “have you ever murdered anyone?” I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe. Thomas says to me, “You’re laugh makes me feel good.” Thank you Thomas. I’m so blessed and grateful you are me child. ❤️❤️❤️

Nature Holds Space – An Hour Long Walk

February 16 2023

Just back from an hour long walk.

I had a meeting this morning. I wanted to shine my best during this meeting. It meant so much to me.

I feel like I completely flopped. My speaking didn’t flow, it was broken, at times breathless and rushed. I feel I didn’t represent myself and my abilities. I was anxious, and all this wrapped together deflated my self esteem.

I have felt lousy ever since. This gorgeous walk helped. The trees, water, sky, clouds are masters at holding space for whatever one feels.

Life has no rewind feature. However, nature sure knows how to shine when life feels paused. 💙💙💙
