We have been on the shortlist for the Ignytes every year since they started and I did not think we would ever actually win an Ignyte but we just won an Ignyte??? Huge if true!!!

That also sounds deeply unpleasant. Weather extremes can have such delightful effects, can't they? 😅

So glad it wasn't just me 😂

Wait until the insides of your nostrils freeze because you've dared to breathe outside

...I endured scabs inside my nose every winter of my childhood in New England. Fun times.

I finally deactivated my long since abandoned account over there, and it feels SO GOOD

existence pushes towards love community and freedom, because CREATION is what we were built to do and creation thrives with these things as fuel. IT GETS BETTER. LOVE IS REAL. however this change comes in up and down waves. its not a straight line and should not be expected to be
