Focusing on the good stuff as much as possible during these crazy times. I’m excited for tomorrow, my bestie is taking me out to celebrate my pub day! She’s such a huge source of support & I’m so grateful for her friendship. She’s my soul sister. Here’s a pic of us. What are you looking forward to?

One week! That’s all that stands between today and the moment The Weight of Silence is officially out in the world.
This back cover blurb gives you a glimpse of what’s inside—a story of resilience, healing, and finding my voice.
I can’t wait to share it with you! One week to go! 📚💜🦋 #booksky

Halfway through the week! Here’s a cute pic of my dog blissfully passed out on my husband last night just in case you need to smile. It’s the dangling leg for me. 😆🥰💜🐕😴

We made it to Friday! On a week where Tuesday felt like it should be Friday already, I’m calling it a win!! Wooh, the Universe is NOT messin’ around this week! January felt like a year, I barely remember February & March kinda felt like one giant never-ending to-do list. Grateful for calm & quiet. 🤪

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Good morning, Bluesky. May you find pockets of warmth and joy today. I hope you’re able to do something you enjoy today, and spend time with people who fill you up. 💜

Finally received my official copyright certificate for my book in the mail today. This is my first book. I’ve been figuring all of this out on my own as I go & receiving that today felt even better than I thought it would. Trying to be mindful of each milestone & celebrate all the things. 😊📚#booksky

Feeling a bit off this week. I’m trying to embrace the discomfort of the liminal space while I wait for the formatters to finish, so I can move my book to the final phase of self-publishing. Leaning into surrender & letting go of control. Trusting the process & the timing…sometimes! 😵💫🫨🤪😶🌫️🫠 #booksky 📚

It gives me hope to see all the people who protested today. I ended up having to work all day but I was with you in spirit. I’ll be looking forward to the next one because we need to keep showing up! Thank you for showing up and showing out today! #50501

It’s been a full weekend of work for me on my feet & a full week ahead. I’m very much looking forward to not leaving my house tomorrow, doing only a little work & not talking to anyone but myself or my dog for most of the day! 😆Maybe read 📚a little & catch up on shows I’m behind on. Anyone else?

Good morning Bluesky. Enjoying my favorite morning ritual drinking my tea while gazing outside as I sit cozied up under a warm blanket on my couch. Today I get the added bonus of listening to the rain on this stormy morning. Enjoying the quiet moments of solitude before diving into my day. ☕️💜⛈️📚
