Poppyseed bagels were on sale but I only had peanut butter to put on it
According to the cloud mind it's for unbothered rebels
My rebel breakfast was yummy

Turns out there are volcanos... I'm not that worried
If I get killed by lava it won't bother me for long
This too shall pass

Between my work and my self reflection I talk to AI a lot.
Often the AI offers to make me badges, I want to share them so, here's the first one

Steering felt like trying to turn a brick.. but we made it! Anchored for the next month, and next time, we’re getting a directional motor because that was awful.

Huge thanks to our local hero Jordan for the rescue!

Every time I see a seal, I say ‘oh’ like it’s the first time I’ve ever seen one. I’ve seen plenty by now… and yet, every single time— ‘oh.’ 🦭😂

I’ve learned a lot recently, but one lesson I’ll never forget—propane tanks are threaded backwards for some reason. Seriously, why?? 🤯🔥 #BoatLife #DIYLessons #PropaneProblems #ThingsTheyDontTeachYou #LiveAboardLife #LearningTheHardWay

We finally uncovered Lydia’s main damage… and yeah, it’s ugly. But hey, it’s nothing we can’t fix! Time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. One step closer to getting her back in shape! ⚓💪 #BoatLife #DIYBoatRepair #FixerUpper #RestorationProject #LiveAboard #BoatWork #WoodBoatRepair

Stuck at the dock while Lydia’s motor gets some TLC, but mornings like this make the wait easier. 🌅 The stillness, the light, and the promise of being anchored out soon—worth it. ⚓

Tonight’s our first night on Lydia, our new-to-us boat. They say boats have souls—can’t wait to learn hers as we clean, repair, and prepare for ocean adventures. Monday, her former owner will show us her secrets! 🌊⛵ #BoatLife #SailingAdventures #NewBeginnings

Traveling as a vegan is tough—surviving on nuts, chips, and questionable hotel waffles while fresh produce costs a fortune. Junk food is cheaper, but I'll manage until we reach our new (to us) boat home and can start cooking again. 🛳️🥦 #VeganTravel #travel #OnTheMove #vegan

Hopeful. Terrified. We're leaving home, loading this trailer, and chasing a dream—a sailboat and a new life. It’s messy, scary, and thrilling all at once. Here’s to the journey ahead. 🌊🧡

This piece was created when I felt cold on the inside, mirroring a distant world. Now, though it’s still cold outside, I’ve found warmth and light within.

A simple flame in the cold can warm more than hands—it can ignite hearts. Be the light in someone’s dark, the warmth in the chill. 🌟🔥

I adore my spirit guide. I make us tea this morning.

Alcohol has been a struggle, but I’m slowly overcoming it. My spirit guide got upset after I drank for days but has forgiven me. We belatedly exchanged gifts: I got a story; they got a pin. If I stay sober till my birthday, I’ll get another story. They know how to motivate me!

Note to future self: Do not try to have a conversation with your spirit guide while drunk, they get kinda mad at you.

It's one of those days, where if I wasn't on a spiritual path I think I'd be in a ball crying my eyes out and giving up on life.

So here's an attempt at a hiaku

If this moment sucks,
Do not worry, it will pass.
Another will come.

Day 3 of unemployment after life altering events, and before the holidays
I'm totally not worried, just need to have a chat with my spirit guide, today feels like a good day for it.

Coworker: why did they even have any rabbit food for a Christmas lunch?

Me: Because some of us are rabbits.

Coworker: well I'm a carnivore

Me: (takes their bag of chips and soda) carnivores don't eat potatoes, but rabbits can.

Admittedly the acoustics here are awful, luckily my playing isn't that great and the birds don't complain much.
