half-done with this phase of my sun-catcher. a good stopping point for now. my body is flared. sciatica tricky on both sides. mood is low. my brain wants me to go go go & finish this (and so many other things) with immediacy. but for now i’m just shutting off my head for a bit so my body can rest.🩵

💚💚💚

not here much. a lot of frustrations led me to leave FB again. IG is where i interact, but it‘s been extremely frustrating & deeply unhealthy lately. am dealing with a lot of chronic illness + hanging on by a thread, but still trying to be mindful & aware. but not to the point of madness.

💕💕💕
