Last night I took a good wander and without even thinking about it, ended up at the church where we dance.
Trust the path, and it will always lead you to where you need to be. Trust where you are, and let what is supposed to be unfold.

True belonging is not conditional.
I’ve been contemplating the times in my life I’ve tried to earn my place & then come to lose it.
Places we really belong take us as we are & love us even if we give nothing in return. And they allow us to be our best selves, which grows into sacred reciprocity.

The Eagles winning the Super Bowl gave pretty much all of Philly a 4 day weekend. I am beyond grateful for this citywide staycation.

It’s been a year since I learned I live w CPTSD.
I gave myself a spa day today. As I relaxed, I felt into my heartbeat. I’m lucky to be in as good of shape as I am. Some days I even feel I am filled w grace & beauty.
Healing is hard work. I am grateful I’m still around in this lifetime to do it.

Without light, there is no shadow. The more light there is, the easier it can be to find the shadow. And the more light there is, the easier it can be to accept the shadow as part of the makeup of our existence.

I’m in line to pick up the first round of hormones for my kid. Gender affirming care feels like an act of both hope and resistance.
I’m a double Leo. A lioness. I will fiercely do everything in my power to protect the rights of my kid & all trans kids everywhere to be healthy & happy in their body.

If you spend exactly zero seconds thinking about how this would be unfair to you, we should be friends.
It’s funny how the ones who complain the loudest never had a barrier in their way to begin with.

Here’s what I love about my new sketchbook.
I draw w my 15 yr old trans kid.
Scary times w youth gender affirming care. Glad we can decompress together.

I draw things like my cat. She’s my emotional support cat.
Times are hard! Find love & fun where you can!

I work for a Quaker org involved in this lawsuit, the first of its kind, and most of my day today was helping communicate about this action. When times are so dodgy, I feel grateful to be doing work with organizations who align with my beliefs.

The suit appears to be the first from a faith-based organization challenging the change in court.

“Let go. Begin again.”
- Sharon Salzberg
Art is from a few years ago but the message remains the same. It’s a new week, a new day, a new moment, a new breath, a new opportunity to start fresh, let go, and begin again.

A favorite quote from my kundalini teacher.
“Let your every thought be thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Everything. Thank you.”
My goal is to fill this new feed with things that fill me with gratitude and light. And lots of everything thank you.
