Someone invite me to a cool party! But not lots of drinking, and I need to be home in bed by 9 😂✨

I’ve noticed life feels more hopeful when I honor my creative self.

It takes time and energy. Keeping commitments.

Simple as:
- 15 minutes of craft research
- One hour at the library to write

Always incredible to be in their presence! So glad I made it back to the nest before sunset to behold their precious fuzziness.

Sending Queen energy on this sacred day 👑

Seven years ago, I woke up with what I plan will be my last hangover from alcohol. 🍷 I could no longer bargain with myself about how drinking harmed me physically, emotionally and spiritually. I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, and finally had the willingness to quit. ⚡️

Today, I celebrate that choice. I honor all parts of me—shadows and light. I thank my inner goddess, queen, truth teller 👁️ And I send forth this reminder:

While you live, shine. ✨

2025 review part two: Yes, I am happily married to a man fighting for his life against cancer—and I am more than one thing. 🌗 As the end of 2025 breaks my heart, it helps to reflect on the joy, creativity, beauty, and magic I can generate. Not alone, but with the strength of ancestors, community, loved ones, artists, the earth, and stars.

🥀 2026, be gentle.

I spent 15 minutes on my novel revision today—the first time I’ve touched it since my husband’s brain cancer diagnosis. 🥀 It’s been 19 days.
🔮 It felt good to work on my story again.

Crafting this revision 📚 Today, I categorized my changes into three levels: story, scene, and page. And I made this pretty storyboard ✨

TBH, I feel overwhelmed by all of the questions I need to answer about my story level revisions. I find this kind of funny because I HAVE done all of this before. 😂😵‍💫🥀 #sendhelp

Must be time for a break 🫶🏻

Stillness. Cold. The scent of decay clenched by frost. A single bird chirping, but I couldn’t tell if it was a warning or a song. 🥀
