Finally goodbye 2025

I’m exhaling a profound breath to let go of what I am calling the year of WTF is next.
I have, for the most part, become the waterfall and let the issues flow over and around me, moving downstream far, far away.

Today marks 3 months since my colon cancer surgery, and all I want to share is what I have started doing daily, borrowed from the Venerable Monks of the Peace Walk.

I can’t tell you how great it feels to be back talking to and working with my friends 2 days from 3 months post surgery.
Enjoy your day everyone!!!

If you have to take a stand for something make it worthwhile.
Be Peaceful
Stand against hate
Stand against violence
Stand against fascism/nationalism

Make a stand. This IS the time!

A slow early morning stroll through the neighborhood of 5 Points in Columbia SC.e kind to yoruself and take a break from the news, if you can call it that. Disconnect and recharge YOU deserve peace.

Doing my best to go with the flow!

Seeking and allowing the flow to ground me as I and others live the shit show in the US. Stay safe, use your voice, and take care.

With all that is going on in the US and elsewhere make sure you take care of yourself!!

As a kid, I always had a fascination for trains, so as a supersized kid, I went and found some today.
I also want to wish everyone a Happy & HEALTHY New Year🍻

Another early morning walk-a-bout and I try to find some water to interact with. Am I missing Western NC right about now.

As I begin a new journey ,61 days past Colon Cancer Surgery, the Solstice has a new meaning for me. I will do my usual withdrawal and self reflect as I become still in this new chapter of my life.

Moody day.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.
