Chew On This
@imeihsu.bsky.social
Nurse, Counselor, Nutrition and Health Coach, Ironman + Ultrarunner. I love the outdoors, animals, lifting, dance, and travel. Cat is an American Bobtail. Husband-Creature is my Canadian ESA. PNW is home.
One of my favorites from the time just before diagnosis with Autoimmune Disease (2012).
The movement: the Vortex, when you bring the hoop from the waist to overhead by grabbing it from the inside and then maintaining movement in the open hand position.

Cats snuggle and face away from you when they feel safe and trust you.
Sometimes I think I have an ESA. Other times I think I might be hers.

“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.” (Dan Savage)

Two years ago, we took Minna home with us. She was scared, took to hiding, and we wondered if she would be happy in her new home.
Minna spent her day in my office today, getting pats, sleeping in her little bed by my desk, a happy cat.

Did Minna get into one of the catnip-laced toys? She kinda looks a little stoned.

Minna watches me run on a treadmill.
The number of miles I will run this year and the hours of work I do require a treadmill (hop on, hop off seamlessly).
And sometimes she sleeps under the race medal holder.

Ms. MInna the superfloof is comforting, yet my heart breaks for so many reasons.
None of this is normal. And my cat is shadowing me like she knows how shattered I feel as a woman whose name means “America, the Beautiful Country.”

An apres-ski moment, minus the brews in #Whitefish #montana (Dec 31, 2016 iPhone X).
For composition in the fading afternoon light, I used the neon light nearby.
It reminds me of Vermeer’s painting, “Girl with the Pearl Earring.” 😂
Happy New Year! 🎉

Sunrise in the nook #CaboSanLucas (Dec. 2022).
Because sometimes we have to escape the cold, and that particular winter we barely escaped an ice storm.

Holiday time #glutenfree #baking that is GF, DF, soy free, and ready to share with family members who also need free-from options.
Having Celiac Disease and other food intolerances have unleashed a superpower I didn’t know I had over 12 years ago.
I got this!

It’s taken some experimentation to perfect both the crumb and timing an active #glutenfree #sourdoughstarter, yet I finally did it.
I have made a #GFbread that tastes better than anything commercially made, with the right texture, crumb, and flavor.
*cries happy tears

Still interested in connecting with other Bellydancers, SWANA, and MEHNAT dancers, dancers of color.
New-to-me costume, first fitting. I take photos and video to see how it fits and moves. Since I grew some lats, adjustments must be made!

The PNW is deep into, “The Big Dark,” the stretch of days when the beginning and ending are the same - darkness.
Light, functional and artistic, is essential.
