A Bit Carried Away
Dear Friends, I am so fresh after the first good night of sleep in a while! It makes a difference. This weekend, I was overwhelmed by energy. It was so exhausting. And it looked happy at times, but even that can be dysregulating. One thing that helps is being by the ocean. I was luckyContinue reading “A Bit Carried Away”

A New Year
Dear Friends, A new year and it is already so full. Awful news about the wildfires, a new administration about to take over, continued oppression in too many parts of the world. And that is just a few of the big things going on. It is a lot. I am fortunate that my personal lifeContinue reading “A New Year”
End of Another Year
Dear Friends, Well, this is the last day of 2024! I am still in move mode, which is pretty arduous, but the end is in sight. I am sick of physical belongings!
