"Nolite te bastardes carborundorum"

I worry about the intricate ecosystems of our beautiful national parks as many NPS employees have been fired. My heart goes out to these workers who now need to find new opportunities. I encourage us all to tread responsibly as we visit the parks this season.

My kid is awesome. Tonight B said, “Bullies just want you to think you’ve already lost. They back down or fail when challenged. Bullies don’t have as much power as you think, mom. Don’t let anyone get you down.” He’s 11, but no stranger to adversity. #1000cranes #StayStrong #BulliesArePathetic

The process of folding cranes brings me peace and allows space for reflecting on the day. However, we also have a tool for working out frustrations. Each night my family takes a moment to “scream into the void.” Everyone enjoys the chance to let it go - judgment free. #1000cranes #letitgo

I’m planning my spring/summer garden. The garden is bare, and it feels radical to place my hopes in a handful of seeds. Yet, each season the garden blooms again. May you have the audacity to plant for a vibrant future. This world needs you and all the goodness you can grow. #1000cranes #planthope

💚I hope you felt the sunshine on your face today.
💚I hope you found something good to eat.
💚I hope you spent time with someone that makes you feel safe and loved.

💚For those in need of refuge, may you find safety and the kindness of strangers.

💚For anyone feeling isolated, may you know that you are loved and feel the warmth of friendship.

💚For those you that had a heavy week, may you find the space for restoration over the next couple days.

At our local smash room, working out some aggression before Monday. @roebuck71.bsky.social
