Little purple flowers in a bed of greenery.

I do love springtime.

Such is springtime in New England.

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool.

And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

Guilty as charged..I have so many duplicates for this reason. I keep the local little free library box well stocked. 😂

Yes! 💯🎯

For me, spirituality is more like
"pulsating"
"undulating"
"expanding and contracting"
"in and out like breath"

There is no end point, I don't think so.

2/2

I think the reason words & language like
"my higher" self
"enlightened" people or thoughts
"evolved" beings
"masters and gurus"
...bother me so much, is that these terms describe a linear process.

Terms like
"spiral"
"cyclical"
...don't work for me either.

...also, Jamiroquai's Travelling Without Moving. I was waiting tables at a beach bar in St. Martin, partying as hard as I was working. Had to know what that music was (Virtual Insanity), spun around to get to the CD player, and dropped an entire tray of drinks...on a customer.

I heard Pomplamoose's Lovely Day/Good as Hell Mashup during a very bleak moment and it lifted me out of my funk so completely that I've used it ever since as a reliable antidepressant. Windows down, slightly over the speed limit, hand out the window making waves.

A closeup shot of the blossom of a Centennial Star Magnolia. Soft white with just a touch of peach on the inner petals.

The Magnolia is blooming! The show won't last long since temperatures are supposed to drop into the 20's F on Tuesday night. So until then, you can find me next to the tree, nose in blossom.

Cover of the book The Witches Heart by Genevieve Gornichec. A golden vine filled with symbols of a snake, wolf, and child, serve as hair in an artistic side view silhouette of a woman with the face in all white. On a soft navy blue background and framed by a golden nordic vine border.

Loving this one.

"Being honest about your chronic illness is not negativity, it's reality. I'm not complaining for fun or trying to bring the mood down, I'm just describing what it's like to live in this body. If anything, acting like everything is okay all the time would be way more fake than anything I'm saying." MyBodyIsTryingToKillMe.com

"Different hats on the same energies"...this, yes! This jibes with the history of similar archetypes appearing and evolving across cultures. Which doesn't make them any less true and real. It also doesn't make them less unique as we meet them at different places and times for them and for us.

Yes, and there are times when this new comprehension feels...shakey. Grappling with questions I thought, at my age, were finally sorted. Now it's all turned on its head, and my unending questions sound like a 2-yr-old...but why? but why? but why? LOL!

A little clump of crocuses. Purple with light stripes of white with green leaves and stems.

More crocuses...because, crocuses!

I had a similar experience moving from "devout agnostic" to pagan; that singular encounter shifted everything for me. Since then I have reached out to others; and some in other pantheons. The connections I initiate are equally real, although of a different quality than the first passive encounter.

Close up of a bunch of buds on a Centennial Star Magnolia tree. Still covered with the fuzzy outer leaves, just about ready to burst into bloom. Grey clapboard siding and white trim in the background.

Spoke with Magnolia today. Warned him to be patient; there is a frost coming that will surely steal the glory from his blooms. He laughed. "I am established" he said. That is what he always says now. I suppose he's right; what is a fleeting blossom compared to deep, strong roots?

Does Proton Sheets have full functionality for mobile yet? I'll be able to ditch Google completely when it does. Small businesses need access to these tools on-the-go.

Great question @rondiver.bsky.social. The motivation came from personal work on myself around standing in and owning my own power. I realized I was still thinking like an employee instead of the business owner.

Yes!! This is the way!! 👏👏👏🎯💯

A clump of 6 purple crocuses wide open to the sun with bright orange stamens.

A clump of 8 very bright yellow crocuses in a little mound on a patch of dry winter grass.

I think there is no flower as important as the first crocus. My heart softens and melts awake with the blooms. Such a joy to stumble upon the warmth and color. Every year I think, I did not plant enough bulbs. So I will plant more, and say the same next year.

The discovery brings him victory, the kind of victory that isn’t the end of a battle but the beginning of a life.

Yes, I feel so legitimate now. LOL!

Been running a small business for 8 years and I'm finally getting my shit together. In one week I got my LLC, trade name certification, EIN, and business checking account set up. All while limping through the worst illness flare in years. But the ducks are finally all in a semi-straight row.

Looking forward to reading this one!! ♥️🌻🪻🌷🌼🐝

This is so interesting. Jan 2020 was filled w big shifts. Husband got a new job. I started a new business. We were prepped to move cross country. But then ALL of it collapsed for us, just a few weeks later, when the world shut down for Covid. Please say it's not the same this time!

@creativelee1.bsky.social The town where this happens with some frequency (but not usually at this intensity) is Moodus. And the locals call it "the Moodus noises."
