Happy 2025! Here's to more "horizon therapy" during quiet sunsets in National Parks. This during our last trip of 2024 in Joshua Tree National Park. Wishing everyone a healthy 2025!
Do you feel respected?
Respect begins with self-respect. Before we can be there for others, we need to recognize and honor our own needs and limits.

Do you feel respected?
What is respect and what does it feel like in our bodies? How can we balance respecting ourselves while respecting others?

- for this week's #LiftToTheSky I'd like to call out Sherry Rind’s Between States of Matter
"Some of it breaks and reforms like meteorites
but never escapes our gravity, carrying the stories

and the long fall through time."

Still remember convincing my dad to buy an Apple Lisa in the late ‘70s. He ran a construction company & bookkeeping was done on a machine the size of a small pickup truck. I said he could simplify that process.

Love these ideas
Old chimney pots & earthenware pipes make splendid tall garden containers! 🪴 Transform Belfast/Butler sinks into miniature alpine gardens. Buckets & old metal cans create eye-catching planters. Drill drainage holes, add gravel, newspaper, & compost. Perfect for herbs! #Salvage #Upcycle #GardenTips

Privileged to read early copy of #SilentY by #KatherineBenfante.
Swept away in a thought experiment that seems so absurd, yet reveals elements that brush (sometimes too closely) with undercurrents in today’s world.
For lovers of Handmaid’s Tale, felt very Gilead.
