Stoplight view by our condo. I always roll down the windows so I can smell the ocean and hear the waves crashing.

I’m taking in allllll the lavender aromatherapy to help calm my nerves. How’re you doing today?

Self-care to get through this political unrest
Whatever self-care you need to get through this time of overwhelming political unrest, do that.
Get out in nature, take a nap, listen to music that makes you feel good, light some candles, read a book, meditate, exercise, diffuse your favorite essential oils, savor your favorite food, watch a movie, take lots of deep breaths… whatever you need. Just take care of you.
This is all very heavy. And comes on the heels of the hardships we already endured in 2020.
So please, if you need support right now, reach out:
- If you are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (TALK) or text MHA to 741-741.
- If you are not in crisis, but need to talk to someone, my partner, Mental Health America, can help you find a warmline. Warmlines connect you with trained support staff who understand what it’s like to struggle with mental health problems, and can help you address your current situation. Go to mhanational.org/warmlines to find a warmline near you.
Take good care. xx

Trying to plan the next week, but I really wish I could just sleep for 10 days and have someone wake me when this political crisis is over. Brightly colored planners help a little.

A little reminder from nature that we can thrive after pushing through all the hard things.

I’ve decided to use these Christmas ornaments as year-round decor around the house for a little indoor starlight. ️️️️

What a dark day for our country. I lit this candle for a little bit of comfort and light for us all.
It doesn’t feel like a new year to me…
I’m looking ahead, starting new projects, setting new goals… but something just feels off.
I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it doesn’t feel like a fresh start, clean slate, hit the ground running kind of thing… like it usually does at the beginning of a new year.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond thrilled to put 2020 behind me. But I’m more about easing my way into 2021, rather than going all in. I have hope in my heart, yet I’m also filled with a strange sense of caution.
Anyone else?
#ichoosebeauty DAY 2600!!
Celebrating 2600 days of #ichoosebeauty, having a little talk with the ocean, God, the universe… just letting it all wash over me. It’s been a really draining few weeks, and this was a much-needed healing outing.
