A hand holding a pencil hovers over lined paper filled with Pitman shorthand squiggles. Overlaid text reads: “Brains are weird. I keep catching myself mentally tracing what people say in Pitman shorthand — swoop, hook, slash. I learned it in sixth grade.”
My brain still tries to write what people say in Pitman shorthand.
I learned it in sixth grade.
I didn’t use it for long.
Apparently that doesn’t matter.

I used to worry about my daily naps. Thought that there was something wrong with me.
Like seriously wrong.
My POV’s changed. Ask me now and I’ll tell you that I nap as if I’m getting paid for it.

Second video’s up in my Mindful Movement Balance Strategies series.
No props this time. Just bodyweight, squats, swings, and a little balance work.
4:48 of real-time, honest movement. Short, doable, invigorating.
I move slow. You can too.

Bowl containing dried calendula blossoms, fresh thyme sprigs, and gunpowder green tea, prepared for a healing soak. Chamomile was added after the photo was taken.
It’s "slow down whether you like it or not" days here.
Been soaking/wrapping a corn on my toe since Monday, then today I woke up with an incipient stye or other painful-to-blink eye thing going on.
Which I'm about to soak using these herbs (+chamomile).

Family photo from a bat mitzvah showing three generations. Three adults stand behind three children—two girls and a boy—all dressed up and smiling. Now, only I and the kids remain. Everyone else in the photo is gone.
Looking at my family on Mother’s Day.
Everyone in this photo is gone but the kids.
Sometimes I wonder that I'm still here. Luck? Tai chi? Maybe I’ve still got work to do.
Tai chi class starts May 17 in Sebastopol.

People shoveling compost under a blue sky at a community site with signs reading “Compost Here” and “Stay Off Hay.”
Shadow of a person in a wide-brimmed hat over dark soil, with two buckets and a shovel nearby.
Open backseat of a car showing buckets, gloves, seed packets, and a purple yoga mat — supplies for a day of composting and movement.
I dig Tuesdays.
Compost pickup, full buckets, dirt under my nails.
Gear in the backseat. Yoga mat, gloves, shovel — you know, essentials.
Tai chi class starts soon. Want in? Message me.

I see the posts:
“Peace is already in your heart.”
Maybe.
But I find mine in the dirt. In the seeds. In the making.

Screenshot of a ChatGPT response describing Sue Kearney as a one-woman renaissance—branding badass, WordPress whisperer, collage conjurer, tai chi sword-slinger, and multipotentialite on a mission to make business and aging more human and delightful.
I let ChatGPT dig through our chats and asked it to describe me.
Not gonna lie—I was curious what this thing thought it knew.
It came pretty damn close.

Lucky me I’m on my way to tai chi and sword workshop today.
So lucky. The workshop’s in an unheated studio in Sausalito. Lovely location but brrrrr!

I’m layering up. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Tech tip from a maven
I was today days old when I learned this. You can leave a video voicemail, at least using an iPhone, when you try and FaceTime somebody and they don’t pick up. This is extremely cool.
You’re welcome.

I invite you to post your photos of the almost-equinox season.
Inspired by other photogs sharing themed images over on Twitter, let's share what we see. 💜

My hair is getting longer and I need to know more than I know about getting the best out of the hair that I have on my head now that there’s so much of it.

Knowing my thoughts are ephemeral frees me from taking them — and myself — too seriously.
I have the capacity for happiness in every moment, every day. That's freedom.

Pouring paint while bottom-of-the-tincture-bottle baked. The experience was [ahem] unique — painting while tripping. 🤷🏻
I don’t think I’ve painted with only 2 colors before, 1 of which is white!

Homemade bone broth in the pot
This gut flare up makes it harder for me to eat.
Thankful for bone broth — it’s keeping me going.

Apparently I take my fashion tips from Tim Walz!
Found my barn jacket on ebay, big enough to wear a big sweater underneath, lined with flannel. Score!!

I’ve outlived both of my younger sisters, and often wonder why. A theory: Neither practiced tai chi or drank kombucha. Next year marks 50 years of tai chi and 20 years of kombucha for me. Hmm. Who knows? #Longevity #TaiChiLife #KombuchaKrazy #AgingLikeABadass
