I love that for you.

Seriously, I think many of us are having similar thoughts these days. Shut down my Instagram within the last 36 hours. Shut down Telegram last week. This site is all that’s left, and I’m drifting towards the exit right now. Something in the air. .

Beat me to it. Still laying here contemplating reality. Not liking what I’m coming up with.

Congrats.

Exactly. Which is why I’m choosing, for today, to immerse my brain into something exotic, like tales of Samarkand and Merv. Just for awhile.

Concur. My brain and psyche really needs time to process the last 36 hours. I’m not leaving the bed today. Kicking it with a copy of Frederick Starr’s history of the golden age of Central Asia, “Lost Enlightenment”.

And just bald-faced lie about the reasons. For Americans now, there is no reason to wonder how the citizens of nazi germany or Putin’s Russia felt when democracy and reason broke down. We are living that nightmare in real time.

Absolutely beautiful. Wowsers.

Hoping you have a 2026 that is as lovely as these selfies. Happy New Year.

Indeed. Love this so much.

Wow. I’m actually jealous.

Beautiful.

You’re on track. Remember to reach out and I’ll help you meet your goal.
