Every feeling isn’t pathology. Every struggle isn’t a disorder. Teaching people to trust their own senses in a world that profits from their confusion--I’ll die on that hill. Life-long birder. Honoring my dad every day: “Nothing ventured, Nothing gained.”
I’ve been quiet, listening to my own timing.
We confuse ‘needing more information’ with ‘not trusting ourselves.’
There’s a difference between gathering data and seeking permission.
Your senses are already giving you information.
Stop gathering information about things your gut already knows.

I was once a little girl watching my Mom's shame using food stamps. Behind every policy are real families, real struggles, and that shame compounds. This can happen to anyone. Behind every statistic is a child watching their parents’ dignity being tested—the impact will last the rest of their lives.

Years ago, my therapist seemed so much smarter. I felt so stupid and small.
Now people ask AI questions, still looking outside themselves for answers, not trusting what they already know.
What if you already know, and struggling is normal?
Next time you want to ask AI:
What does my gut tell me?

Your kids are learning the most important lesson of their lives right now, and you don’t even realize you’re teaching it.
When you say, ‘I know you’ll figure it out,’ instead of solving it for them, you’re teaching resilience and that they have all they need inside them with your loving support.

You know how you catch yourself saying ‘I don’t know’ before making a decision?
Next time, ask yourself:
Why did I say that when I actually DO know?
Now ask yourself:
“Am I afraid to take the risk?”
“Am I waiting for someone else to tell me it's a good idea?”
“What do I REALLY want to do?”

THERE IS NO ONE YOU SHOULD TRUST MORE THAN YOURSELF.
Think of a time you doubted yourself, but your gut was right all along.
That feeling? That knowing? It’s still there.

These are Black Vultures, taken at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge on September 11th. Lifer Bird! I took as many photos as I could! I wish my father were alive to see them with me. I spent most of my life birding with him.

EVERY choice and decision comes with a cost.
That’s the thing nobody wants to talk about.
Everyone’s looking for the perfect choice with no downsides, but that doesn't exist.
You CAN handle the cost.
