One of my small favorite things is being in my stepfamily’s group chat.
I miss my dad a lot, but his remarriage netted him the additional kids he’d always wanted, & me the siblings I used to wish for when I threw coins into fountains. And those siblings & my stepmom are still here with me.

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.

I have multiple disabilities, and my last attempt to work outside my home almost hospitalized me (turns out “too stubborn to quit” isn’t actually a virtue).
I deeply appreciate your support as I develop a viable path forward.💜

Toad opened his present from Frog. It was a beautiful new clock. The two friends sat by the fire.
The hands of the clock moved to show the hours of a merry Christmas Eve.

I find giving always feels good this time of year—and even a $5 gift becomes $5 less my sweet, sick, struggling friend has to worry about.

Have been struggling to lean into any holiday vibes this year—the third without my dad—even though I know decorating, music, and special food/drink makes me feel better.
But I made an Xmas to-do list over tea, and I’ve fired up the Sufjan Yule Log. It’s helping.

Seasonal advice on maximizing both joy and wonder:
Don't send your coins to the wealthy trolls that live in high castles this holiday season.
Shop in your local forest and share them with the witches, goblins, and other moss draped horrors that create sparks of light in the darkness.
