good morning, i love you. 

my journaling practice has reached one year old. i found a method that works for me. and holy moly, it works for me. it has been incredible and worthwhile. my thought patterns have improved - they are less meandering, they are more purposeful, and they more often return to a strong core after getting lost. my self understanding has exploded - i have been able to zoom out and see patterns of stuck points throughout life..., find themes that need holding or healing..., see the narratives i relive... my grace towards others has increased, as has my willingness to take time and space for my self and my psyche. compassion all around!. my thoughts, words, and actions are all more intentional. wild. invaluable. i cannot believe how much i have learned. i am ecstatic. i started a new year today with the added stat of minutes meditated. let’s fucking go.

my day on nostr was pretty great... i like it here. and i love you. i understand the outside internet is burning and hell is freezing over in real life. so. thanks for everything, frands. stay safe, sane, & free.

i celebrate the solstice, not the number change., but i made a number of intentions on the darkest day that percolated and became lovely, so i will share this morning's iteration: take three deep breaths when arriving. take three deep breaths to start a new task. continue to work on my patience and emotional container. continue to study yoga and ayurveda. make sleep sacred. make food sacred. make movement sacred. make health sacred. in all interactions, choose grace. be ready for that not to be their response. then choose grace again. and - naturally - with honesty and integrity. devote time to my self, my husband, my family, and my community. break unhealthy habits around screens. set goals. practice meditation. see all situations as something to learn from. and know [believe] everything is as it must be.
