Will you paddle like hell? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello beautiful human, I’ve spent the last few days as my own companion. Funny what the mind does when we are alone. It looks for ways to distract from racing thoughts moving through me like my brain is the virtual Autobahn. Last night, instead of fighting it,I laughed at the ridiculousness of it all. I was able to see the thoughts from the 50,000 foot view and, damn, that was eye opening. We will see what comes about after a few more days of me, myself and I. And my furry friend. She doesn’t he

Hello beautiful human, have you ever had a time in your life where you doubted yourself, your accomplishments, your purpose? Swirling, vicious mind screaming that you are an Imposter, not good enough or some other nonsense? Ya, same. I have dubbed that bitch, Debbie Doubter.

The way the person said it was, for lack of a better term, gross. I was struck by the flippancy of the statement and how it so easily rolled off the tongue. So much so that I had a physical reaction, akin to a gasp accompanied by a dull chest pain. How is

Read excerpt
Hello, beautiful human, in talking with others this weekend I gained perspective. I feel uplifted when discussion goes beyond the niceties, the to do’s, the small talk -each a slippery slope into autopilot. I need IRL connection. This week, I vow to seek it out rather than waiting for it to come to me. Won’t you join me? May connection feed our souls. Sending love, light and appreciation.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!w3V1!,f_auto,q_aut
