2025 was, honestly, 1 of the toughest years of my life. I lost my MIL in Nov 2024 & then my dad in Jan. Then my mom was in the hospital for 3 mths. Meanwhile the world is on fire. I’m exhausted but giving up is not an option. & I’m still hopeful for 2026. & 2025 had some good moments too … 1/3

JUST made it to 100 books read with 2 days to spare 🎉 Thank goodness for audiobooks or I may have only made it to like 25). Thinking of lowering my goal next yr so I don’t stress about it, but also because I want to listen to more podcasts. Have you set a goal for books to read in 2026?

#JoinIn was so popular on Bluesky on Christmas Day that there was a 7-hour delay!!! Posts are finally showing up today.

People have been chatting the whole time, so your post isn’t being ignored.

People are still chatting.

Everyone is welcome throughout the Christmas holidays.

Sending love to everyone for whom the holidays are complicated, heavy, lonely, or hard. 💛

Whether you’re grieving, working, struggling, setting boundaries, or just surviving — you’re seen, you matter, and you’re not alone.

Be gentle with yourself today. You deserve care and rest. 🎄✨
