Full sized bars all set to go.
We only got a handful of kids last year. It‘s sad actually not to have kids trick or treating in this neighborhood anymore, but there aren’t many young families here, I guess. Plus it’s hilly.
🤞🏽 for more visitors this year since it’s a Friday. I’m ready!

Last night way home from seeing the magnificent Arooj Aftab in concert, along 12th, some dude in all black ran into the intersection while I was driving through on a full green. If I had been speeding or distracted or inexperienced I would have hit him and both our lives would have been ruined.

I’m officially entering my listening-to -my-teen-and-his-friends-play-90s-grunge-hits-in-the-basement phase of life. It’s a very strange Deja vu feeling, but I’m here for it.

Financial fawning is when we prioritize the financial needs of others to the point of neglecting our well-being.

I occasionally get inquiries from folks who want to see me about someone else's behaviour.
❌ My spouse (or child or sibling) has a problem and needs your help (subtext - fix them).
✅ I need help setting boundaries, effective self-advocacy, and better communication skills around these behaviours.

Artist makes website that lets you take selfies through NYC's network of traffic cameras. NYC Department of Transportation sends cease and desist. Artist nails cease and desist to a very very very long pole & holds it up to one of the cameras to take a photo of it

#IFS level 2 this weekend all weekend. Today's topic is shame in relationships.
From this morning's lecture:
What was done to us, we do ourselves. What we do to ourselves, we do to others.

I'm currently taking a six week course on financial governance, through Governance Solutions. We are analyzing the financials for various organizations. Last week was We Charity. This week is Laurentian.
I HIGHLY recommend this for folks involved in board work. It has been top notch.

I’m a matcha drinker. Have been for over 20 years. My daughter thinks it’s still a niche fuel of choice, but I think it has come into its own.
So, a poll for those folks who need a caffeine kick in the pants:
- Matcha
- Regular green tea
- Black Tea
- Energy Drinks
- Coffee
- Yerba Mate
- other?

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Almost through IFS level 2 (Intimacy from the Inside Out).
Main takeaway, is this: open hearted hearing of our partners - REALLY hearing with an open heart- on issues that give us strong feelings, is HARD. Like so hard it's hard even in role play. And yet it's what makes the whole difference.
