489: So much sleep

I meant this to go up a couple days ago, but the universe had other plans. It gives me the chance to say, how much I am appreciating my own body, especially when I give it the opportunity to really rest. This last week there’s been lots of movement, creation of art for art’s sake, baths, giving myself lots of love and grace, and sleep. So much sleep. I’ve not slept this hard since I was doing my…

Yup. Getting outside has meant like EVERYTHING to me as I sit with the potential outcomes, as well as navigate the healthcare system to receive the care that will help.

486: "What did worrying ever do for me?" Days of Creation 2026, Part 7/12

Today we discuss mechanisms for choosing our mindset, especially during challenging times.
