One year ago today Chris & I rescued Wilma (“Panther” 🙄) from the local animal shelter. She was hiding behind her little cot and a fleece blanket. She didn’t move when the staff opened the kennel door but when she nuzzled my hand as I gently rubbed her chin and jowls, I knew she was the one for us.
Before, during, and after the making of my mom’s memorial garden. 🪴
What Wilma hated this weekend: the guy who came to install our blinds, thunderstorms, empty food bowls.
Crocheted my first mushroom. The only kind of mushroom I like.

Conversations with Wilma haven’t stopped. On the contrary, she’s been much more chatty lately. Bluesky doesn’t permit enough space to accommodate everything she has to say. In a nutshell she’s had thoughts about 1) blinds installers, 2) birds, 3) and a reduction in her dry food. #pets #cats #cute
Had a tough therapy session yesterday. #Grief isn’t what I expected. Can I grieve the lack of loss of negative core beliefs that I thought would *poof* after Mom died? Basically, I feel like hardly anything has changed and that in and of itself is a sad statement.
I loved this #audiobook

Been practicing mindfulness lately as part of my job and it’s had unintended consequences. While mindfully sipping coffee, I realized it’s not that great - by myself. It tastes incredible when I’m drinking with friends - which made me think of a Proof episode👇🏼. I’ve since had to resort to creamer…

Idk how many miles I went yesterday but I want to go back! #hiking #GreatFalls #Virginia
I was out for a jog when this hit yesterday. Refreshing!
I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.
Why don’t we do things That we know are good for us?
For approx an 8yr span, I practiced #meditation. Daily. And I stretched and had some qigong in there, too. And then for approx another 8yr span, I fell off the wagon.
This June, I’m determined to reclaim my practice.
I just sat for 20 min.
I’m proud to be related.
Post you in a different era.
Me. May 30, 1990. I think I’m showing-and-telling a story I had written for 3rd grade.
Yum 😋🤩 How was it??
I had something similar at this place called Freshii. I was pleasantly impressed with how they prepared their tofu.
It’s the royal Microsoft WE
Bye, Colorado. Hiked some hikes, ate some eats, and saw some sights. Highlights include: grave of suspected vampire Fodor Glava (DOD 1918), a gratitude temple built in 1972, and of course, Blucifer (not pictured) who killed his creator in 2006.

Boulder, CO has an artist who secretly paints cats around town. Found this one yesterday while at the farmers market. You can see more on:

My mom is getting revenge from the other side via her favorite musicians. 👍🏼
“I will not yield to disrespectful men.” 💪
I felt the same way about Laos. Apparently the S is silent.
Chris and Wilma think otherwise 😂

After a two week hiatus, it felt good to get back out on the trails.
Only 12 more miles till I reach my 75 mile goal!
