Fragile like a VOLCANO. 🙌 🌋 🔥

Besos y abrazos para todos @ these darkest, coldest nights here in the Northern Hemisphere, holidays and anniversaries that stir things up ⬆️ ☮️✌️ Salud! 🍻 🌲 🎁 🧑‍🎄

Peace be with you. May you find community, medicine, and sanity in whichever ways work best for YOU. 🙏🛁😎👼 🛶❄️🚬🍷🎶 🎨🎿🍄🍀💕🌱

Emojis are a special kind of magic 🪄✨🧙 kinda like stickers, and stamps. And block prints. 🫟

Words matter. Because everything is art, yes? Some of us are writers who maybe misplaced our quill. 🪶

🐉 Manifest, set your intention, focus your life force energy, kids. It works if you work it. Repetition. We practice progress over perfection. Humans don’t really love to be told what to do. They learn by watching the others around them. Different if the humans are all behind tiny little screens, not actually coexisting in the same physical space. Bummer!

Suggestions. Take what you need and leave the rest. Always.

Forever grateful for my community, my web, my Ohana. My sangha. My sisters + brothers + elders from all the various mothers. And the wild ones who shepherd us. Love you. 🥰

Wherever you go, there you are. 💡

Rest easy. Walk carefully. Watch your step. And your mouth. And your thoughts. Words matter. Especially the ones you repeat in mantra to your own self. Fear is a potent drug. We all have our own medicines. Own set ups.👏🏼

I share freely so that others may learn from my lived experience. I do this daily, inside and outside of formal sharing circles. Loudly! Fearlessly.

Shame, fear, loneliness, desperation, hopelessness - they kill people if no one is around to notice.

It’s safe to ask for help. No matter what they told you or did to you in the past. Ask me.💞

We all have experiences and wisdom, regardless of status. I live + practice love and community every day with the four young men in my home, and our best boy, Maxwell. I’m safe, secure. Trust.🪞

We are NEVER alone. Reach out. It’s a tough time of year. Check on your loved ones. Share your experience, strength, and hope in whatever way makes sense. Make amends. It can get ugly. It’s safe. Persist. 🔥

Ciao! 🤙 te amo!

Up before the sun ☀️ preparing for a long day on this shortest day.

Last Minute Larry in Keene, NH 10:00-4:00. My absolute favorite arts market of the year. A beautiful evolution / iteration of the BROKE arts fairs in Peterborough, back in the day.

Winter Solstice love fest with the cool kids on my way back through town. After dark. A climax to a doozy of a year.

Celebrating the returning of the light. See you on the other side. Be safe out there, kids.

We all gather, dance, sing, eat, pray around the same fire. 🔥

No matter what team they say we’re on. Us/them. I call bu****it. Take a breath. Look around. 🤫

grat•i•tude. (noun) the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful to be free from the chokehold that alcohol and drugs once held me in. I am grateful that drugs and alcohol did not kill me, though it was close many times. I am grateful for all the times alcohol and drugs kept me alive. Those realities are two sides of the same coin. Judge not, friends. We all have our own journeys. We don’t get to dictate the path that others choose.

Today I am grateful that I don’t crave the drugs and alcohol I once did. I’m still working on that and perhaps more subtle ones: sugar, gluten, screen time, adrenaline, s*x, money. . .

Recovery is not linear. Grief is not linear. Life is not linear. We recover. We relapse. We recover. We don’t lose our past recovery when we relapse. That’s absurd. We move forward, we learn, we grow, we flex, we adjust. We are always recovering. ❤️‍🩹

I am grateful for the healers and the helpers, and grateful that I’ve been discovering my own strengths in this long lineage of healing women from which we descend.

I am grateful for those who held their hand out and helped me through, and for those who continue to do that today. I am grateful I am alive and well enough that I can offer my hand to others.

I am grateful to folks reminding me gently and less so, to slow the f**k down. To pause, breathe, think. I am grateful I slipped on ice carrying something too heavy, took flight, jarred my neck enough to cause concussion. I’m grateful this has forced me to set down so so much that is not mine to carry. The persistent pain is a gift that reminds me to be present in my own body, in the moment.

Grateful they don’t burn witches anymore, except they do. In meetings, ad campaigns, schools, hospitals, buses, emails, prisons, sidewalks. Oh dang, they do still burn the witches.

I am recovering with a friend in a sanctuary of art and cats 🐈‍⬛ I am so f**king grateful.
