• Sharing an opinion piece from John Lewis written for the NYT before his death that I found inspiring, I hope you consider taking a look (link in profile). Dearest friends, if there was ever a moment to show up for our country and for each other it’s now. Our right to vote is powerful, and many fought and died so that so many of us could have their voices heard. I won’t ever take it for granted, no matter how over the system I get, how uninspired by the candidates I am, or by how frustrated I become. Please vote (not just this year but always). It matters. It matters to so many you might never even meet whose lives are deeply impacted by the decisions made at the ballot. It matters when we find ourselves in unbelievable circumstances like we are seeing now, and we have a complete lack of leadership to guide us through it. Friends on the left, yes, I know, Joe Biden isn’t ideal. He’s far from my top choice. Today, he is the the candidate who will get us closer to our goals and that is important. Friends on the right, perhaps you’ve decided not to vote at all because you’re also unhappy with the direction we’re heading. But there’s a choice to be made here to bring some stability back. You can help restore it. Friends who sit independently, we all have a vested interest in this outcome. If you or others in your world might be considering sitting this one out or you’re on the fence, please read this piece from John Lewis, please VOTE.

  • I’ve been learning about so many wonderful businesses lately. This fabulous candle comes from @228grantstreet in Baltimore. If you’re like me and find that candles are an incredible tool to find a little peace amidst the chaos, I highly recommend snagging one of these beauties. 🕯

  • Birthdays I usually love my birthday. I mean let’s be real, most Leos do love their birthdays, right? This year it felt heavy and it was strange to celebrate with everything going on around us. It was as much of a roller coaster than anything else I’ve felt over the past few months. If anyone else out there is feeling weird come birthday time during all of this, consider this —> you being here doing your thing IS something to celebrate, no matter what is going on. Your light, your energy, your presence in space in time on this speck in the universe is amazing. Grateful to everyone who helped remind me to acknowledge that for myself. Your birthday wishes and surprises made me so full (literally and figuratively) 🥰 Here’s to 43 trips around the sun. 🦁💫☀️🌙

  • I've had the best snuggles from this little furball lately. After 4 months of extra quality time together, we're settling into something familiar during the work day. Some of us, get to take naps. Some of us...do not. 🤔
