I am so grateful not to have debilitating pain multiple times a month. Life post has been good. I might still worry about things I likely don't need to worry about...however...I know it was the right decision.

A rare site to behold. Two opposing parties find a moment between differences to come together harmoniously.

Life has been life-ing over the past week.
Allergies kicked my ass (I tested myself 3 times for 'Vid and was negative each time.) I was very worried, tho.

I got stung in the back of the head by Yellow Jackets on Saturday while mowing.

Yesterday, Phoebe had another episode of pooping under the bed. Grateful her location was more accessible for cleaning without tearing it apart.

We have a vet appointment next Tuesday to start investigating why this is happening as a possibility could be arthritis. We are managing by not allowing bedroom access, keeping her upstairs with an easily accessible litter box, and hoping for the best. She doesn't handle separation well.

I spent $200+ dollars on 4 new Cordie-proof litter boxes that have lower entries, so all 3 elder kitties can be more comfortable. I hope to hell they work. (Cordie is a big cat, and anything marketed as XL is still too short. She sometimes likes to p*e while standing, and it would go over the edge. So I have used big totes for years, and have been unable to find suitable replacement totes.)

Once the boxes come, we will set up one in the living room. We are also going to figure out how to eliminate any under bed access.

This summer is kicking my ass. 🤘🏻

It's the time of year when little fairies are out, and mosquitoes think I am delicious.

I am in the process of re-learning to allow myself times of self-pleasure without guilt. I am realizing the need for me to prioritize time for myself beyond working out, reading, and chores.

I am still continually surprised that I am pain-free, but then I am equally surprised when my "period" shows up in the form of exhaustion and grumpy episodes.

I am in a space where I am tired of learning, and I just want to read spicy books. I am very much feeling the brakes from stress, and my responsive desire feels shame.

A bunch of rambling to say that I am tired and stressed. That my libido feels like it dropped off the face of the earth. My self-time is riddled with guilt, but I know that those voices in my head aren't speaking my truth.

Kindness. Patience. Pleasure.
Take away the stress, performance anxiety, and goal reaching.
Letting myself come back to myself with an open heart and open arms.

A random photo dump. 📸

Right now I am in a season of contemplation. There is so much swirling around in my head right now.

I might elaborate more...or I might not. Typically in this season I end up being very "living life focused" and usually keep things to myself. Sometimes I need to withdraw a little from social media, because it becomes exhausting and doesn't bring me joy.

Today I did a lot of cleaning/purging.

I finally put all of my OTC pain relievers away. There is so much counter space now 😌

I am in a contemplative mood.
Maybe it's because I am 3 days away from my "ghost" period.
Maybe it's because I can have pain-free $3× for the first time in 2+ years.
Maybe it's because I am now feeling like I am finding myself again.
Maybe it's because I am reeling with all of the feels towards my aging and changing body.
Maybe it's because I have learned a little more about my baby-hood and the things that I went through or that happened during a pivotal time in my life. Things (I think) that unknowingly traumatized me and have led me to patterns that may not be the most healthy.
Maybe it's because I feel it is absolutely necessary for me to soften towards myself. To be more kind to myself than I have been.

I think I am quietly overwhelmed with hope and joy that is tinged with the mindset of "When is the other shoe going to drop?"

Every year this day comes, and I am reminded that you aren't here. Every year, I feel sad, but I also know that I am supposed to celebrate living. It's tricky to balance because I need to honor how I feel (sad), but also I am happy to be pursuing things in life that bring me joy.

I love and miss you every day. 💛

I started my walk off feeling insecure about myself. I had my first 2 embodiment coaching sessions in about 6 months. Holding space for two lovely souls is nothing short of amazing. However, I felt like a complete novice when it came to the rest of it. I felt like a failure.

"Why do I think I of all people can do this?"

When the opportunity to support SOEA with their charity event came up, I signed up without hesitation. I wanted to do it. Hell, maybe I needed to do it. (Yes, I did. Yes, I do.)

I have 4 more sessions coming up, and I am eager to put myself back in the space of a guide. To let my intuitive senses play a larger role in the direction I go.

I saw this butterfly spending time (eating?!) bird s**t and I thought: "You know? Maybe I wasn't as bad as I thought. Maybe I should see the beauty in the mess."

A photo dump of lovely things from some walks over the past several weeks.

Another mtb ride was had, and I took zero pictures because I was on a time crunch. (I packed a light, just in case!)

I have decided that I am okay with meeting myself where I am at when it comes to fitness. I am not going to talk down to myself because I felt good enough to mountain bike for 6 miles and no more. (BTW, I biked in Palisades... plenty of climbing!) I took it easy and stayed within my comfort level. (Rode smart. Had fun.)

I feel grateful to be out on the bike in the first place. I will get stronger in time, and I will be patient... because as long as I am enjoying myself... really, that's all that matters.
