I love performance art and appreciate Marina Abramović > so I was delighted when my son Adlai gifted me The Marina Abramović Method - Instruction Cards to Reboot Your Life!

Painful events happening in the world affect some more directly > AND they also affect us all.

Whether you rarely watch the news or you’re fixated on it > we are energetic beings and know when things aren’t ok.

There’s no simple solution to this situation.

Events happening to others can also rub up against our own personal traumas. That’s why self-care > creativity > and grounding = connecting to the earth is supportive.

I am grateful for the ability to vote. My voting place was empty this morning! I hope that means people did early voting or will vote later today. I always thank the volunteers for being there too!
🗳️🇺🇸
Voting is serious business!
🗳️🇺🇸
In our country’s past > Women and People of Color were not allowed to vote. Many and people gave a lot so we can vote today…
🗳️🇺🇸
And in many parts of this world, people are still not allowed to vote.
🗳️🇺🇸
If you’re upset about a certain person 🟧 implying there’s no need for elections >> ASK YOURSELF WHY YOU ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT SAID PERSON IF YOU ARE NOT VOTING!
🗳️🇺🇸
It’s important to research who is running for offices too. I need to improve in this area myself!
🗳️🇺🇸
Your vote is one part of your personal power! Be powerful!
🗳️🇺🇸
Let me know if you voted today!!

With fascination, I watch how people’s birthdays can bring up grieving.
🗓️
I listen to 20- and 30- year olds - » how aging-related grief can be even stronger when one is younger. I hear people say what they wish they’d accomplished already - and they are only in their 20’s, 30’s, and even 40’s.
🗓️
Never do I want to minimize someone’s feelings > and I also laugh inside. They have so many years ahead!
🗓️
Then, I think of myself…

Mona Lisa Marie Simpson >

formerly known as Lisa >

is traumatized, wants to be small, sits in the corner with her face hidden, pants a lot, just ate for the first time in almost 2 days, and is grieving and confused.

She came from a rescue where over 2 dozen dogs were taken in dangerous, freezing weather. She safe, but also likely missing her other dog friends. She’s never been inside a house 😢

So proud of beloved Pema for helping her regulate. 💞

Pema = Foster Ambassador! 💖

In honor of 2/14/26 a most beautiful poem written by my brilliant and loving-hearted poet neighbor ❤️‍🔥🖊️ who created this to honor the opening of our neighborhood

Widening
By Sara Kay Mooney
In memory of Jane

Across the street
from my house
is a box made from trees,
which is to say it is
a wooden box that sits
atop a sturdy wooden pole,
once shade,
once squirrel home
once branch and bark.

Inside this box—
this generous box,
this patient box,
this bright box of yes
and welcome—
are worlds made of words:
entire lives folded into
spine and ink,
offspring of other trees
still giving from
their great abundance,
saying: come, take, please.

These worlds change
because my neighbors
change them:
leave and take,
share and borrow,
friends and strangers,
our lives connecting,
intertwining in ways that are
impossible to map.

It costs nothing to visit
these worlds in this box,
which is another way
of saying free
which is another way
of saying freedom
which is another way
of saying, come closer—
yes you, and you too—
come, take, come feast on
these worlds
these words
this forest of stories
inside this box

They will give and give
and give
if only we let them
if only we arrive
with hearts open,
hands and minds ready
to receive
what the word
may have for us:
gift after gift after
generous and surprising
gift, this exuberant exchange,
this ageless invitation
to know
to grow
to understand
and then, in turn,
to give.

The contents of the box
are always changing,
not unlike our own hearts,
which—bless them—
are always learning

how to open wider

It’s fitting that the day before Valentine’s Day is Madly in Love with Me Day! This is a most special day in the world of Wanda Petunia and a timely reminder that loving yourself is the foundation of loving others.

For those of us who may not have been loved well during childhood, it is truly healing to have others who love us at some point. We learn to love through relationship - with family, friends, romantic partners, pets, trees, and chocolate 😂!

Loved creativity time today with in her Patreon gathering of friends!
💨
I’ve been learning about the healing power of from another training I’m in with
💨
So today, my character was able to move from a struggle to breathe at all into a big inhale and sigh!
💨
Here’s her tiny story:
🐭

“She couldn’t breathe but found a little opening…

As the weight of the world was heavy on her mouse shoulders…

She found a tiny inhale between the grass and clouds, exhale…

Deep sigh!

A lot of stress can make it hard to breathe. You can start small with just a little inhale and a longer exhale and build up!

When life feels glum or you are bummed, create! Even a little. Happy to join with today!

My paintbrush holder is a favorite goblet from when I officiated a most lovely wedding! And the shamrocks!

Hiking the Trail of Inner Peace…
🥾
The Boone Fork Trail at Julian Price Park… the Pinnacle Trail at Crowders Mountain State Park… the Overlook Rock Trail at Kanawha Forest… the Split Rock Trail at Latta Nature Preserve… the Beaverpond Trail at Hard Labor Creek State Park… some of my favorite places to hike.
🥾
They each have their own terrain - and often I must navigate rocks, roots, and loose soil to stay safely on the path…
☮️
check out today’s Substack with a link above on how the Buddhist monks have inspired me and connections I’ve made with hiking and what causes me to stumble on the trail of walking with inner peace!
