A day of inner peace and playfulness. Dancing in the forest, singing in the sauna. baking and cooking with friends, enjoying the crisp cool of snow and the warmth of the fire.

Finding joy in the moment is a right no one can take away as long as we have breath. It is power. It is resistance.

Where are the marketing people? We need you and all the newly unemployed or on leave federal workers to start a campaign of educating the MAGA right on the civil service, to combat all the misinformation and “othering” that is happening.

Humanizing government work will make a difference!

My government friends, this is very astute. I learned this in the first administration when they ordered us to do things (that we protested of course) and then refused to take responsibility or sign declarations as to what the did when we were sued.

Make them put EVERYTHING in writing.
Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing?

DON'T DO IT.

If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT.

Document, document, document.

Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Started Morning Pages today!! So excited to start The Arrists’s Way process by Julia Cameron and see where it will lead. Lots of creative Pisces energy flowing now for us to transmute into intuitive artistic expression.

Tapping into play, art, hope and joy is necessary self care these days!!

For years Republicans ran on Hillary’s emails. But she asked first and got DOJ approval.

My friendly MAGA voter, you’ve been so played. Hypocrites.
Elon staffers are using private emails, violating federal law.

Feeling grateful for my two pups this morning - Otso is a Taurus filling my 7th house of committed relationships and Sisu is a Pisces, my Fifth house of play, creatively, children and pleasure☺️

Seriously - someone in Hollywood make this movie. I’m not for murder, but if the movies are going to be murderous, this heroine is a way better hero.

I lived in Germany as a kid and counted the ages of the old people I saw on the bus, angry that they lived while the Nazis murdered. I don’t know what they did or didn’t do, but I knew some or many had been complicit. I’ve never forgotten that feeling.

Now it is my turn and I will not be silent!

Civil servants are the backbone of our country.

Instead of criticizing them, thank them. Support them because they support you! For example, they handle Medicare and Social security payments, national security, passport issuance, cyber crimes and more.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Which countries are volunteering to accept Americans?

For 100’s of years we have been a refuge for the world. Now we need your help to flee a fascist regime.

I would like to build a center of compassion for all humanity to come for connection in love with Mother Earth. Who will welcome us?

Any Canadian thinking that we, as Canadians, would be better off being the 51st state is off their rocker.

Tell a federal employee today you are grateful for their sacrifice on behalf of the people. 🫂 They have new bosses hired only for their a*s kissing, who don’t respect them, their expertise or the laws. Colleagues have been purged, they’ve been ordered back to the office, and fear for their jobs.

Be the world you want to live in.

Birthday wishes to my 33 year old son today. He’s kind and curious and believes we are love and are all connected and that we can live in community with all of nature’s creations. I believe too.

Here’s how we are doing it today in Finland - one day at a time.

Here I am. So joyful to find you here.

Here to see you and hear you and have a real dialogue uninfluenced by oligarchs, uncorrupted by false facts.

Showing up authentically, imperfectly perfect, sharing our truths - good and bad - for the greatest good of all.
