As I head to the finish line for the 100 day project, here's the next...

I fetched my coffee and returned to my bedroom, clean sheets, windows 🪟 open with a glorious breeze blowing through the sycamores and starlings happily squawking and chitterling somewhere.

I retreated up here as my couches seem to be full of sleeping 20 somethings which makes me happy but limits my coffee enjoying locations. So I stole away with my fancy latte upstairs.

Of course the Purrmuda Triangle is 😻⚠️ here with me. They arranged themselves on the bed and put me inside the love triangle. I am content.

Plus, waking up to a Rock n Roll hairdo! And a refrigerator that looks like a sane person lives here. Instead of someone with an obsession for 🍆 eggplant (aubergine). Seems I fancy myself as one in a way. Purple and some people may feel allergic to me.

Ah gratitude keeps making it's appearance everywhere. Two Days ago, I confirmed My/Our Tales With Friends community is still here and isn't broken despite the mfing algorithms. That feels huge in so many ways to me. I keep wanting a way to reconnect. I am not owned here. I am safe and alive and falling in love with myself everywhere once again and I just want to share this with the people who do care. Creativity is my guide and vessel for my love. I follow that.

I looked up other methods/ways in which our community could better find itself in one place, much like Tori did years ago. Screen shotted the page. 

Ps. More life tea spilling on My Wisdom Lessons Substack page. Link in my profile to get there. Once you're there, Please please please be my 111th subscriber?

Opportunity to sit inside the Purrmuda Triangle 😻? Yes please ❣️

A view from inside 👀⚠️
Sharing everyday isn't a nuisance to you and it helps me stay present and interacting with my community who I miss dearly and need so very much during these times!

As the 100 day project winds up, I'd like to return to Insta on the daily like so many years ago. We need eachother back then and now more than ever.
Maybe I need you more than ever. This is me showing up for myself, asking to be Known, my word of the year, and hopefully you'll want to meet me here too!

An unglued Day 86 .

This gorgeous human just turn 13. We named her Fiona and she deserves a tribute today. 

She is such a genuinely kind person, she's even a member of the kindness committee. She'd give you the benefit of the doubt that you don't deserve. Her compassion is endless.

Unknowingly, she's the loudest person on the stage and that's where she loves to be. The modest showboat. So smart and wickedly funny and devoted to you and your joy for life.

Fiona is a strikingly beautiful human inside and out.  And she was surprised that she's as photogenic as she is. I am grateful to her friend Wren's mom 
Heather for taking the girls to the park before the dance to take these amazing photos ❣️ Priceless.
