~ @wyldstatic custom made me this GORGEOUS tiger’s eye mala after I posted about tiger’s eye. I am OBSESSED. The feel of this beauty is pure magic. There is power in this piece and I can’t put it down.
~ doing another 2 week grief writing workshop with Being Here, Human. I feel like i need to get some stuff out and this is the perfect container for this. I need my words and feelings held. There is quite a bit I am mourning the loss of. It’s been a minute since I took one of these fab sessions and I neeed it. They free me.
~ spent the last 2 days in bed. Napping and scrolling my phone and drinking water. I cannot believe how tired I am after my vaccination. Whew. I also need to wash my hair but I can’t lift my arm over my head. Still emotional about it.
~ Highest cases ever in Alberta, Ontario and here. And there was a huge anti mask rally downtown yesterday and I want to punch them all. Selfish people.
~ I think the Auntie Collection might be a go. In limited numbers. I was looking at the photos of the packages I sent to Michigan and Arizona and the ones I have to send to Ontario and Chicago and holy fuck I am good at channeling for people. I have been reporting what is going in each one for my friend and as I tell her things I have gathered she tells me stories of why it’s so perfect. Stories she has never told me before so I had NO idea how relevant these little treasures would be. It’s making me excited.
~ I happened to log on to Clarity’s live reading in the Cauldron yesterday and asked my question about this offering and she said it would require a level of vulnerability and she is right. That is my fear. What if I didn’t get the pieces right and the person who signed up hated everything. It’s a subscription box but totally unique and personalized. With thrift finds and local artists. Then she reminded me about my love of details and how I see things so I am sitting with that. Also will give it a few more listens. And her cat came and sat down during it and I was the only one she did that for.
~ My fern is doing REALY well. it’s quite shocking how well it is doing. So many new leaves and it’s all upright and fluffy. I am cautiously optimistic.
~ "I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear." - Joan Didion, 'Why I Write' - this was in my weekly Belletrist email and it is why I do these musings. Every day. I want to be IN my life.
~ Had a lovely text chat with my Shanny last night. I miss her face. I can’t wait til we can hug.
~ My balcony is a disaster left over from That Guy growing and clipping weed on it last year. I called him and said he needs to come help me clean it cause he never did it in the fall. He said he would so we’ll see.
