Saturday Morning in the Cosmic Blob

These are the days I need to write and yet I don’t. Words and thoughts swirl around my mind so quickly I don’t even notice them, my fingers can’t keep up. Like florescent lights flickering too fast to be noticed except on a subliminal level, my thoughts storm my mind. I have nothing to say andContinue reading “Saturday Morning in the Cosmic Blob”

Good morning y’all

What I posted: “Hi. We made it to another day. Let’s celebrate with coffee.” how I actually look this morning: Trying to keep it real. And let me say this—I AM PROUD OF YOU. Here you are, getting through the stuff, whatever it be. If you resisted the urge to step on a scale, orContinue reading “Good morning y’all”

Returning to Joyfulness

It’s been a minute. Hello and happy Spring. The sun has returned and life springs anew. Flowers are blooming and birds are singing and I find myself smiling to myself on my walks– staring up at the trees in wonder. Wonder and Joy have been big themes for me lately. I’m doing a play, aContinue reading “Returning to Joyfulness”

Found in the Forest

We took a walk yesterday— my dear friend invited Kidlet and I to join her and her pup. As they walked ahead, I was stuck by this gorgeous moss covered rock. I pulled out my phone to snap a picture. But the photo showed me more. This gorgeous beam of light shone into the rock,Continue reading “Found in the Forest”

Notes to Self: Dear HS Freshman

Oh dear one, the world is large and the universe expanding. It’s beautiful and terrifying and comforting and overwhelming. And YOU ARE PART OF THAT. Part of the chaotic and magnificent cosmic blob. You are a creature of the multiverse. One of many. There is not a single thing wrong with you. There may beContinue reading “Notes to Self: Dear HS Freshman”

Pep Talk: Almost Spring

This time of year gets really tricky. It’s the longest we’ve been in Winter mode, anxiously awaiting Spring, doubtful it will ever arrive. Historically, for me, it’s a tricky time of year as it marks a lot of loss. I’ve come to understand that the longer I live, the more loss I will sustain andContinue reading “Pep Talk: Almost Spring”

Bone Broth is NOT Soup

Broth is a MF’ing ingredient. Not soup. Not a meal.

No dish breakfast

Sometimes I need a simpler breakfast. A really easy one. No dishes. Enter: TOAST!! Smear it with whatever you have on hand— peanut butter, cheese, smooshed banana, regular ass butter. Today I did avocado (and a sprinkle of Everything but the Bagel because I’m a little bit bougie). Because we gotta eat today. No matterContinue reading “No dish breakfast”

Another easy-ass meal- oven chicken and carrots.

Preheat oven to 400– Frozen chicken thighs on a baking sheet with rough chopped carrots 20 mins— go chill. Lie on the floor, release your jaw, roll your head back and forth. Bring one knee into the chest, then the other. Then both. Wiggle so it feels good. When the timer goes off, season/flip/season theContinue reading “Another easy-ass meal- oven chicken and carrots.”
