Happy Birthday 🥳 to my baby brother, who is somehow all of the sudden turning 33 today 😅 🧡🖤

You've always been at my side, either teetering or towering 😂 through thick and thin.

There are so many laughs and lessons we've shared...so many phases of life and phases of your interests that have gone by in 33 years. 🤓🦖🦕🦸‍♂️🦎

Thanks for all the ways you've added to my life... for all the love and loyalty, for my sister (in-law), my niece and nephew.

I can't wait to see what the coming decades bring you and your beautiful family.

May all families in this country and in the world be so fortunate to have the blessings and indivisible love we share.

You know that habit you swear you’re done with… until stress, boredom, or that one annoying trigger or craving shows up again? 😅

Yeah—been there. Thank goodness my rice krispie treat habit days are behind me! 😏

Here’s the thing: it’s not about willpower. It’s about wiring.

This 30-minute Guided Meditation: Door 1 vs. Door 2, helps you do exactly that. Using powerful hypnotic / Neuro Linguistic Programming techniqies like mental rehearsal, aversion, and anchoring, it teaches your mind to link those old behaviors with discomfort—and connect real reward and satisfaction to the healthier choices you actually want to make.

It’s like giving your subconscious a total software update. 🧠✨
No judgment. No shame. Just an easy, brain-friendly way to set yourself free from what’s been holding you back.

Feeling anxious? Can’t turn off those racing thoughts? Girl, I got you! 💛

Believe it or not: you don’t need an hour-long practice, a silent retreat, or a guru on speed dial to feel better. All you need is 11 minutes a day to melt the stress away. Yup. Just eleven little minutes to calm your nervous system, quiet the mental chatter, and sharpen that gorgeous brain of yours so you can focus on what actually matters.

I used to struggle with anxiety daily. Consistent healthy habits actually bring relief. Take it from me - at least 6hrs or more quality sleep + exercise, nutritious food and MEDITATION makes all the difference! 💯

This guided Sitting Meditation is like a reset button for your mind. Imagine melting away stress and negative thoughts while building laser focus—all while sitting comfortably in your own space. ✨

Do yourself a favor (future you will thank you!) & grab this MP3 right now. Then? Put in your earbuds, press play, and let yourself exhale.

Because peace of mind shouldn’t take all day. 🧘🏽‍♀️💫

I know we've all been exposed to a lot of strife, violence, and division going on in the world lately. That we've all been figuring out how to process, respond, or try to avoid it.

Thought i would share a sweet synchronicity that happened today. ✨️💖

Earlier today I was missing my husky, Seanna, whom I adored for the 12 years I had her. I said a little prayer 🙏 that whenever it was the right time for a new dog to come into my life that it would be obvious it was the best dog for me and my heart would be open for it.

forgot something from the store while out running errands so I went to the local to pick up a few items. I saw a small crowd of customers and staff surrounding this beautiful (guessing 2yrs old or less), seemingly stray or lost, husky. Apparently he'd ran into the across the street and an employee just getting off work decided to buy him a leash and collar walk around to see if anyone recognized him. The dog had no collar or ID chip as far as anyone could tell but he seemed like he must belong to someone nearby. Especially since the dog seems very comfortable around people, well mannered, knew to respond to simple commands like sit and shake and is in good health. Huskies aren't usually street dogs but they are escape artists.

So I joined this group of strangers in getting the dog food and water, making posts on Nextdoor and Facebook, and agreeing that we couldn't take it to a shelter without researching to find one with a No Kill Policy. Everyone else was running late for something or couldn't take the dog home with them for one reason or another, so I volunteered to shelter it until an owner could be found or a suitable shelter/new home could be located for him. We all exchanged info to keep each other informed about anyone who may come forward as the dog's owner.

I don't know what's next 😅🥰🤗 Comment or message me if you have any suggestions on how to get the word out about this sweet boy! 🐺

I hope we can all remember what it means to be a loving neighbor to each other and the creatures in need all around us 💕🙏

Oh the adventurous chaos of moving into a new home!🏡 So many boxes to unpack and discover where the heck all our stuff is 😅

Pro tip to turn the 🫩😬 overwhelmed, stressed out feeling about unpacking into something delightful... recommends just thinking of it as Christmas - except you're unwrapping things you already own! 😉 😏 ☺️

Way to make that holiday cheer last all year babe 😘🎄🎅

Our moving team could not get their big cross country moving semi truck up the windy, steep hills of our new neighborhood. This meant they had to go to a Uhaul center, unload our items from the truck and reload them into two smaller trucks just to unload them again in our driveway 🤪 🥵 🤯 📦 🚚 💸

What It's Like To Painlessly Overcome A Traumatic Event -

G - I was struggling with a severe mental block with snowboarding after a traumatic experience that prevented me from being able to enjoy snowboarding like I did in the past, to the point where I would freeze and not move my body the way I needed to to go down the mountain as I had to in the past, c...

My husband and I spent the day viewing exhibits in memory of 65 million global citizens who died in World War 2. After the war ended the US led pro democracy and anti fascism efforts. They were built on four pillars: freedom of speech and worship and freedom from want and fear. Our generation has a duty to protect these freedoms for all people and to honor all those who have made sacrifices to do just that. Government must observe due process and citizens must protest when they don't. Authoritarianism comes into power because of those who are supporting narcissistic, corrupt, lying, racist, divisive characters and those who aren't standing up against them.

Some quotes that struck me today in the wake of so much abuse from those in power against those asking for justice, mercy, and advocating for human rights, here and abroad.

“Are you a communist?”
“No I am an anti-fascist”
“For a long time?”
“Since I have understood fascism.”

— Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”—Sinclair Lewis

“Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.” — Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

“The world will not be destroyed by evil people but by good people who do nothing to stop it. Hopefully there will always be good people courageous enough to take on the bad guys, this is the only way humanity can hope for salvation.” ― Bangambiki Habyarimana, The Great Pearl of Wisdom

“As long as ‘security’ continues to justify the banning and dispersion of demonstrations, assemblies, and encampments, it serves the decimation of democratic rights and democracy itself. Only a broad-based mobilization—a form of embodied and transnational courage, we might say—will successfully defeat xenophobic nationalism and the various alibis that now threaten democracy.” — Judith Butler (Mediapart)

“No Trump, no K*K, no fascist USA.”
— All Thinking People of Conscience Everywhere
