Sticky note says: Always reluctant to pay what I o Sticky note says: Always reluctant to pay what I owe I sit on my apology -- a debt for a throne. ////////// Reflecting on the times in my life when I've had to apologize, I notice they're often accompanied by a fear that I will lose something by apologizing. Often, the price is my pride, my sense of rightness or self-justification. I have to sit with that discomfort before I can bring myself to say or do the necessary thing. What is it you stand to lose by apologizing? Maybe you can make peace with it and realize you're better off letting it go. ////////// #poems #poetsofinstagram #postitnote #handwriting #editing #calendar #reflection #spirituality #growth
Yesterday I fell asleep on the patio. Also my hair Yesterday I fell asleep on the patio. Also my hair is really long now. Also, I guess the pandemic is bringing back ombre. I know salons are open, and I really miss my stylist, but I'm being extra careful because my husband is immune compromised and I can't cope with the risk of getting him sick. Anyway a little nap in the sunshine is good for the soul. I love you all. Hope you find some joy today. Happy Friday.
Bean salad with home grown radish (including green Bean salad with home grown radish (including greens) and basil plus homemade peach syrup instead of regular sugar just for fun. My mom makes this in the summer, and I'm excited to make my own version and experiment as my little garden offers up its variety. #beginnergardener #homemade #summerfood #maryland

My copy of My Grandmother's Hands by @resmaamenake My copy of My Grandmother's Hands by @resmaamenakem just arrived yesterday, and I'm so thankful for this book. I'm only on chapter three, but I'm already tempted to buy copies for pretty much everyone. Everything he's saying here fits right in with what I know from my yoga therapy experience (both as a client and practitioner) regarding trauma and its expression and treatment through the body. The exercises are simple enough to do alone without needing a special recording. The reflections it brings up are powerful. I believe healing has to happen on an individual basis and in our person-to-person relationships in order to happen on the community and country level. This book is an amazing guide to doing that healing work, and I suggest it for everyone. #mygrandmothershands #reading #educateyourself #healing #selfcare #dothework
My favorite thing about summer is the turtles. The My favorite thing about summer is the turtles. These little friends are all over my neighborhood lately, and I had to move this one to get home the other day. Moved another off the trail on a hike today. They're so cuuuuute. They have grabby little feet so it kinda tickles when they stick em out and flail as you pick them up. I know they don't love being picked up, but I'd hate to see em get hurt. Anyway, watch out for the turtles when you go outside. 💖🐢 #turtles #summer #nature #friends
Good morning. Good morning.
I don't know a lot about art, but I know that colo I don't know a lot about art, but I know that color, music and a gentle focus on this moment right here and now gets me through hard times and heavy feelings. I've been spending a a lot of time in reflection, and while this is not really a drawing of anything in particular, I guess you could say it's a picture of my mental process over the past few days.
I have endless learning to do. This is just a smal I have endless learning to do. This is just a small reminder of the big work. Let's continue to hold ourselves accountable and take action every day. Black lives matter. Black trans humans, children, men, women, non-binary people ... Black dreams and accomplishments and strengths and victories matter. Black art and opinions matter. I promise to take steps every day. I promise not to forget. I promise not to give up.
