Most of my actions and interactions are done offline, but I did want to share this. It's not particularly original and many are speaking far more eloquently, but it seems important to say, as someone who spends their days supporting people's healing.

From 2016, since it's "trending":

Excerpt:
"The past year has been one of the deadliest and most violent in recent years for Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza Strip. In 2016 alone, more than 100 Palestinians were killed, the majority shot dead by Israeli forces.

The wave of violence, termed by some as the “Jerusalem Intifada,” began in October 2015 and to date has seen 246 Palestinians killed by Israelis, with 135 Palestinians killed between the months of October and December 2015 alone".

Circa 2106. Baby therapist in my first year post grad school. Oh dear precious one, I can now feel so much love for her, in ways I could not then 💖 What a wild ten years.

It's all connected. History matters. Context matters. Yes, this has everything to do with "mental health". You, me, everyone.

Of all the people we should be listening to, learning from, and standing with now more than ever, I'd say the Indigenous peoples of these lands should be top of the pile. For so many reasons.

The irony that I€E is targeting people whose ancestors have been here for thousands of years is 🤯 .. and also unfortunately not surprising. So many ironies going on.

Because people keep asking...
This is what I was up to last week 💖 It only took us 25 years to get our sh*t together and find each other again 😜 It's never too late to live your best life. It's never too late to choose love and magic. Life is short, it might as well be extra sweet 💫

"Paul, it feels quite magical to be with you in this moment. If our 18-19 year old selves could see us now. I am certain that I have never done anything that has felt so right. Our love story is extraordinary, and I love that for us. I stand before you with my heart wide open, ready to continue taking on all of life’s adventures, challenges and sweet moments with you as my dear beloved partner ... "
✨

And just like that ... I'm settling into home again and looking forward to seeing all the lovely faces of my "clients" (side note: we need a better word). I feel rejuvenated, filled up, and inspired to reengage and be of support in the ways I do best, and for that I am deeply grateful.

And....Break is over!
Classes start again this Monday! The season, the weather, the state of the world ... It's a PERFECT time to commit to taking extra good care of your body 🌟 My body neeeeeds it after the time off, OOF 😅 But I got married and it was magical so it was worth it I guess 😆🥰 (Yes, I'll share a few pics).

No need to sign up, just come a few minutes early. Come as you are, modify as you need to, keep doing it, stick to it, and you'll absolutely get stronger and feel all sorts of good 🙂 And before your know it you have a new lease on life ... and you're hooked! Let's do it! 💪🏽

Excerpt from my newest article on Substack:

I half-joke that I was raised by trees but somehow ended up with people. I both deeply love and feel part of my human community, and am forever finding myself on the edge searching for a way in. I admit that many of my actions have reinforced this. It’s an odd experience, but I also know from talking to hundreds of people over the years, that many people feel the same thing. It was only well into adulthood that I started to understand that human bodies hold all of our personal and collective memories, our genetics, our origin stories, our personal and ancestral gifts, griefs and traumas. I feel all of this particularly strongly, mixed with the memories of the land itself, mixed with the collective experience. It feels unsettling and disorienting...

The world lost a particularly bright being yesterday💔Death hits our small community particularly hard because we're all connected and have no more than two degrees of separation. And your life, dear Casey, made quite an impact. Oh the stories we all have. You deserve the title of Legend, for sure. There has rarely been someone as wholehearted, generous and committed to life and community. May your family, especially your children, be wrapped in overflowing loving support. May we do right by you. May you be with Sam. Rest in Peace and Adventure, CB ✨🌲✨

May all that is good and kind only grow stronger and stronger. There is so much unnecessary suffering. Hope is an active choice. May those of us who feel able keep hope alive. May we practice it every day in our thoughts, words, and actions.

👉🏽Did you know? Intentionally cultivating hope as a daily practice is positively correlated with not just improved mental health but improved physical health. Same goes for gratitude and generosity.
