As times get tough, abuse rates rise. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month—a reminder it’s not just bruises, it’s control, isolation, fear. Be the safe friend. Wear purple. Share resources. Silence protects abusers, not survivors.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

I'm excited for this opportunity! Thank you for organizing it. And I mean ORGANIZING! Every detail seems to be anticipated and explained. As I read through your "Preparation" page, dvpit.carrd.co#preparation I realized that I'll need to make a new account with my actual name to participate. On it! 😊

Be who you are so hard that the world stops trying to get you to quit.

I have found “runner’s high”, but not lately. Now I mostly find “runner’s cry”—it’s when emotions are dredged from the depths of me as I’m running in the woods, and I let my arms extend like I’m flying down all the hills. I did this as a kid, and there’s something so healing in it now.

Excellent! Thank you so much for the recs! I’m still working on this series. I have shifted the name to “Yoga for the Hellscape”. I realized that we are doing so much more than resisting—we are overcoming! I can’t wait to get these videos going and up soon. Your ideas really inspire me! 🔥

Productivity hack: James Blake’s entire collection on shuffle is somehow incomparable as a backdrop to editing! #writingtip

For the first time in a few years, I had to get my light box out and start using it. This sadness isn’t just seasonal.

How can a person—or a president—ever find success or peace or fulfillment if they don’t take accountability for all the times they’ve stripped success or peace or fulfillment from others?

Note to self, and maybe others 😉

There’s nothing to give up. Nothing to do. Nothing to wish for. Nothing but you.

Believe in yourself. Then the world around you has no choice but to also believe. You are the origin point of all that will ever happen in your life. You tell everyone/everything else how to show up.

Yes, the body keeps the score, but it’s just a scoreboard—a display or record of what has happened so far.

You are the player in a game that is still going on. You make the moves. Include ones that make you feel your best, and in the end, you’ll win. 🏆

Somehow I never learned that “double spacing” does not also include doubling the amount of space between paragraphs. I wrote a whole book with all these extra blank lines! I’m working my way through the manuscript to tighten it up. On page 148/444 now, & taking a break because hand cramps. 😂 😭

My library believes in me more than I believe in myself 😂 They just texted…BOTH of my hold requests are ready right now. I didn’t mean to take on a #summerreadingchallenge, but here we are! ✨

“why do you do what you do?” is forever the more interesting question. it gets at who you are, why you’re here. it’s about passion, precision, perspective.

the more common “what do you do?” is like an assessment. it’s classifying without knowing, gauging without engaging. a missed opportunity.

Let nothing stop you in being the love that you are. Let no one dissuade you of that. They may try. They don’t like when we look inside. They want our attentions & energies to serve them, to build them, to brighten them. Keep knowing who YOU are. And surround yourself only with those who also know.

The best teachers don’t just tell you what they know. They show you models and ideas and aberrations. They ask you questions, and they ask you to ask questions. These teachers can lead you to all the answers. They know—and they help you see—that that all that you are looking for is within you.

I am having a piece of my sister’s birthday cake for breakfast. I missed her party, so I didn’t see the cake in full form, but she saved this piece for me. It is strawberry w pastel icing & tiny bits of glitter dust. Pretty colors, and whole pictures I may never know. It’s like eating my childhood.
