So happy that the Birds won the #superbowl on the year of my 20 year Philaversary!
I moved here on 4/6/2005 at only 26 years old 20 years ago and made Philly my home.
I’m so proud of my city and proud of the Birds!

Showcasing my Strong Women of Gettysburg - Baking Bread & Burying The Dead shirt by Blood Rose Gettysburg that I bought at Gettysburg Goods yesterday!
My dad lives out here and my partner and I went browsing in the shops yesterday when I saw this badass shirt!
I love it so much!

Just blew through 2 chapters in this lovely page-flipper tonight.

I recently bought The Ninth House and Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo from Greenlight Bookstore in NYC (Fort Greene, Brooklyn).
I plan to read both back to back.

A beautiful 2 mile stroll around FDR Park in Philly today made for a most excellent way to destress from the horrors that persist.
It was so cool to see that the lake is still all frozen.
There were maybe 4 other people here today.
It was so peaceful.

Just wrapped my 1st book toward my 20 books read annual reading goal.
I didn’t meet my goal in 2024 - but I enjoyed 16 books and had a great time reading them.
Here’s my 2024 StoryGraph reading wrap up.

In August 2024, I sat on this bench after a post-op PT hobble around the park and cried.
My hip replacement recovery was frustrating me & it was hard to be patient w/ my body.
Today I’m sitting here so happy after my 1st 2 mile walk at a steady pace.

I just walked to a favorite coffeeshop from my home!
10 months post-total right hip replacement. I finally feel strong enough to walk here + back today.
There’s lots of really bad stuff going on in the world, but this is so good. I’m chasing the good.
Be well!

With Meta apps gone from my phone, my mornings will now begin with this lil buddy + a meditation + some reading before work or anything.
Lately I’ve been cruising through Her Body & Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado.

Just finished sewing this heart patch on this vest.
The 2nd heart will be sewn on next week -because we’ll need big, courageous hearts to resist the next 4 years.
Finding joy in denim embellishment brings me joy.
Drinking tea. Cleansing my space. Crafting. Preparing. Mobilizing. Grounding.

It was a high of 15 degrees today in Philadelphia - perfect for homemade pumpkin walnut bread and a vegan stew made with tomato, chipotle, Adobo, and veggie broth base and black beans, roasted sweet taters, bell peppers, and red onions.

Homemade seitan and saltado are both easy to make via the Viva Vegan! recipes, which are simple to follow.

Bringing my cooking projects here!
Finding joy in cooking again has been therapeutic for me. Experimenting with creativity in the kitchen while honoring my disabled body’s magic and sharing my food w/ loved ones has helped my healing.
