Spent my morning reading about perseverance, suffering, and loving my enemies.
Makes me wonder if we are reading the same book.

Imagine writing a book on shame-free wellness because you wanted to create a community with other people who are tired of shoulding all over themselves.

In times of trouble and strife, perhaps it is worth listening to Rachel Carson:
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature.” Rachel Carson

This is brilliant!!
Maybe u all know this trick but I have a file w long term plans for each story so that when one gets rejected I just move on to the next planned venue for that story & it makes rejection feel more like a chance opened up somewhere else

There is nothing more powerful or sacred than my meditation and prayer time.
No restrictions on time, technique, etc.
Just presence. Unfolding. Becoming.

I watched #projectcc on Disney plus this evening and just, wow.
Hats off to the creators for showing how younger generations are helping each other tackle tough topics.
Also, thank you for the pretty portia character! I don’t get to hear my name often in tv characters!

I'd estimate 90% of these emails aren't finding me at all. I've been on the inbox infinity plan ever since my first yahoo account. I think AOL was the last time my inbox was under control.

Looking for the people who understand the importance of:
Cultivating joy, seeking beauty, and speaking life in troubling times
Shedding shame to find truth
Leaning into the discomfort of change
I've been looking for you.

Dear growth strategists,
You don’t want infinite growth. There is nothing like loss or a diagnosis to put into perspective that there are many things you value more.

Why did I write a book on shame-free wellness?
I still struggle. A LOT.
But I now choose presence over self-abandonment, feeling over suppressing, and connection over isolation.
That's why.

Acceptance is making peace with how I show up to this moment.
Sitting with the resistance that rises like inflammation.
Affirming the best in me, when I can only see the worst.
Choosing love over abandonment of self.

Every semester of teaching stress management to college students is something new.
This fall is going to be interesting.
If you were taking a course on stress NOW, what would you want to learn?
Extra credit if you include a meme :)

I came here to find my bluesky link. I did not come here to add four new feeds, find anyone who is on Black, female, AuDHD, a public health professor, on sabbatical or launching a book. But here we are, growing my algorithm.
