I had a dream every social media site was turned off for a year. Things felt calm.
I really think this concept would be the start of an amazing horror film.
2024 was a vibe for me. No complaints. I navigated it with the practice of rest and boundaries and ease. I centered my pleasure and care. I had many lovely adventures. Kissed, hugged, smiled, danced, cuddled. I traveled thru out the South and cried a lot (I love crying).
Not writing any goals, not cooking beans, not cleaning, not burning any affirmations, no recap. There is power in just going about life as usual. Maybe thats the ritual: Showing up everyday and trying. Its kept me this far. Happy New Year!! 💛💛
Yes! I’ve been saying this for about 8 months. It’s so difficult to be even attempting work/projects. So glad it’s not just me.
Am I the only one noticing society isn’t really functioning? No one answers the phone or returns calls, & SO MANY businesses are “closed due to unforeseen circumstances.” Medical offices are impossible to contact. Every business is short-staffed & the service is terrible. Literally *everyone* is extremely ill, but we’re all expected to pretend it’s not happening at all. Since media was hijacked by Big Business years ago, the only media coverage that remains is designed to keep us calm, working, & consuming—unaware of the many imminent threats to our survival we are currently facing. US media focuses on the public health emergencies that are occurring in other countries, while blatantly ignoring the RECORD communicable disease, disability, & death plaguing the U.S., as new pandemic viruses prepare to come kill us all. The collapse will not be televised.
We don’t have to always be fixing ourselves or on a never-ending goal list. We don’t have to keep attempting perfection or validation from anything/anyone. You can live and enjoy and know you are enough right now.
I don’t get into the “no new friends” thing. I made 2 new friends in 2024 and they are so brilliant and fun and life-giving.
I did Kingian nonviolence training and was so moved by how metaphysical and spiritual it was. Blown away.
Kingian #Nonviolence [Nonviolence365] may not be what you think it is. It is active, strategic, purposeful, spiritual, practical, relevant…and courageous.

When I was pregnant with my son I would rub my belly and pray that God gifted me with an artist. I would read James Baldwin to him when he was an infant, played Duke Ellington at bedtime. He is now a brilliant artist: Jazz musician, writer and actor. Love it for the world.
There needs to be a support group for introverts who ended up with a career that is public facing.
I often think about why I didn’t keep working on archives. I would be in a basement closet sorting thru collections alone for hours. Good times.
