I'll be taking the weekend for time with my lady. Here's a little something to help you keep that small flame burning brightly inside: 🎶 suno.com/s/mSwRxCRSfK... 🎶 Have a beautiful morning, and a wonderful weekend! And if you're going to share in a protest: 🎶 suno.com/s/yxILc5rl73... 🎶 (Songs by me)

Good evening #FiresideFriends and guests. Tonight we have something special, a talent show! If you've ever had a desire to share a specific ability with others, then this is your chance. We're looking forward to seeing (or hearing) what you're ready to share. Show us what you've got!

Good evening #FiresideFriends, we're spending time at the ancestral home of the Siltuma family for a fancy-dress ball in classical style. We look forward to you joining us this evening for song, dance and stories. 🎶 suno.com/s/xHR4TS8CPP... 🎶

🎶 suno.com/s/mSwRxCRSfK... 🎶 May you each find bright, wondrous color throughout the day ahead.

Good evening #FiresideFriends and guests, we're happy to let you be able to experience the Mekoqueta Caves and state park, this evening. We look forward to hearing your stories as we settle in for some fireside foods and fun!

"The court is corrupt, fields are overrun with weeds, the granaries are empty; yet there are those who dress lavishly, carry sharp swords, indulge themselves with food and drink, possess more than enough. They lead the nation to robbery. All of this is far from the Way." ~Lao Tsu (Sound familiar?)

Good Evening #FiresideFriends, we are sharing a bit of fun at the Party Park for some Glow In the Dark mini-golf! And what's better than that but a well stocked taco buffet and rounds of tequila shots on a terrific Tuesday night? 🎶 youtu.be/VNfKIJitK8w?... 🎶

We judge others by their actions but we judge ourselves by our intentions. This fundamental error destroys relationships. When someone hurts you, assume ignorance before malice. When you hurt someone don't hide behind your good intent. Own it! You're defined by what you do, not what you meant to do.

Good evening #FiresideFriends, tonight we're at the Loumysse Ranch for a pleasant evening with one another to dance, feast, tell stories but most importantly to laugh and find common interests in other ways, to show we are not as alone as some might wish us to believe. 🎶 youtu.be/jYfzan-qVdk?... 🎶

🎶Churches and dictators, politics and papers; Everything crumbles sooner or later, But love. I believe in love🎶 youtu.be/KV9ZCWdvXf4?...

Another valid point... at this moment, Congressional representatives are complicit to acts of treason should they continue to support any of this farce of the illegitimate presidency or the coup that is under way.

Yeah, I have a question, Hogsbreath... Well, a couple of questions... Why on earth should ANYONE be required to show proof of citizenship to someone who isn't required to show proof that they're actually law enforcement? And does Barry Manilow know you raided his wardrobe?

My Lady of Light reminds me of this each day. Thank you @jaybird54.bsky.social for reminding me to be kind to others and forgiving toward myself, too. 💝 🎶 youtu.be/OVaWDL5ILzw?... 🎶

Been a while since I've heard this one, but I got to thinking about it earlier today when talking with Jaye about how we're really lucky to have the friends and community we do. youtu.be/yzavsRSpuXc?...

My youngest said, "Thanks for always letting me feel safe with you, so I could be safe inside too, Daddy." Talk about all the feels! 🥰 She's a middle aged adult now, but learned to express herself though having speech problems when first entering foster care. I'm so proud of her! She sent this too:

So here's the plan, this is what I said: Tonight is going to be very different for Friday Fun with the Fireside Friends. Have you ever watch "Chopped"? We're going to do surprise dessert baskets for the #FiresideFriends tonight. These are woodstove to create thier desserts.

Iceberg on the Shore An iceberg breaks from the cold dark sea, a towering wall of frozen will, driven hard by unseen currents toward a quiet stretch of living land. (1/8)

Don't tell me it's only a particular number of people pissed and wanting to get these bastards out. You don't kick a hornets nest and cry about getting stung, the House and Senate members are going to learn from this too! substack.com/@rawstory/no...

Thanks so much for the boost, @julilynn.bsky.social it's great to have a neighbor like you! ✌🏻💛😃

Bonjou and Alo'! Tonight we meet at New Orleans, Lantil's Landing with its a lovely garden that is well lit for evening strolls under the moonlight, and the beautiful manor house made Bed and Breakfast offers wonderful Creole delectables and warm fires to warm your toes. 🎶 suno.com/s/AQHScJTO0y... 🎶

🎶 suno.com/s/OclpY78mJe... 🎶 Mountains serve as metaphors for journeys physical and spiritual, solitude to reflect and connect with a symbol representing resilience in the face of life’s challenges, a source of wisdom, strength, and power. Coming down from the mountains meant fresh perspective.

Good Evening #FiresideFriends and guests, we're happy to have you join us tonight at the Sol Duc hot springs in the Hoh Rainforest, where one can also find miles of hiking trails and the wondrous Hall of Moss to enjoy patter of drops and tree frog songs.

Good Morning ... a simple greeting, but it offers connection. That's what we all need in our lives, even introverts strive for that sense of contact with life. It helps us live, thrive and grow thanks to the outside stimulus. A friend wrote about connections we make: herondance.org/making-contact

Good evening my friends, come share a bit of warmth by the fire on a pleasant Mazatlán evening, share some drinks and food, music and perhaps a bit of dance before we find our way to our beds and drift into dreams. 🎶 suno.com/s/bdTA9C7InU... 🎶

I began putting together the lyrics to this one as a poem several months ago, and it has since evolved. I completed it tonight. 🎶 suno.com/s/yxILc5rl73... 🎶

Just a friendly reminder, I will be hosting #FiresideFriends tonight. @aimee95z28.bsky.social @frenchieresistance.bsky.social @coachkk.bsky.social @altonpi.bsky.social will get things set up at a nice resort cabin in Pidgeon Forge, TN. Spread the word for the #FiresideFriends meet and greet.

Something I have noted, and an important read though it might feel long to some people. open.substack.com/pub/cmarmita...

When despair, frustration and anger become too much, the mind closes down and falls to horrors or kicks into high gear to allow us to survive and rise to thrive. May you always rise! 🌩️🦅

Talk about living off the grid. A very awesome tiny home! substack.com/@adrianmacov...

Just a friendly reminder, there will be no #FiresideFriends tonight. The crew is in need of the weekends free, but please continue to look for us Monday through Friday at 8pm eastern time.

A few days ago, I said something about current affairs, and decided to expound upon it, it became a song composition that I managed to put together in a few days. suno.com/s/gnEQKfR13z... A (kind of) anthem (maybe) for the people dealing with the mess in the U.S. that is stretching across the globe.

Good Morning Resisters! Be Aware, Be Observant, Be Good Trouble for those who strive to instill fear and obedience!

Something people forget, all too often, or aren't taught so don't know... AND THIS NEEDS TO BE THE WAY IT'S DONE IN EVERY CITY ACROSS THE NATION!!! substack.com/@xplicitpoli...

It's beyond surreal... I have to unplug from social media for today and likely tomorrow, since I got hammered with even more information about things happening that I will need time to process. Take care, all, please be careful out there.

The perspective of the evolution/invention relationship encourages us to recognize the interconnectedness of all inventions and their role in advancing our understanding and capabilities as a species. The creative potential lies within us all as we continue to innovate and evolve, ready and waiting.

Welcome to the Sing & Sip, #FiresideFriends, a great little spot where they normally do karaoke, but also share stand-up comedy and host local venue artist, from time to time. Tonight, you're the stars! You get the opportunity to share jokes, musical or otherwise, and offer a few laughs for others.

There are people who have simple lives, they enjoy ordinary moments and merely try to help others, receiving joy from that. They don’t try to look good, they simply do good, and this brings notice from others. (1/2)

Good evening #FiresideFriends, welcome to the VIP Lounge for Fireside Evening's encore performance. Get your requests ready to ask the band to play, grab a drink from the bar, and relax with friends to discover their musical interests. Hurry, the band is warming up! 🎶 youtu.be/JF91ul0ZR64?... 🎶

Learn to want less Trade tangled longings for plain ones: A warm hearth, a clear sky, the breath of now. Simplicity calms desire— Fame and disgrace become the same, Success and failure Lose their emotional power. Life, unhurried, watches As the sun sets, the moon rises And seasons turn.

Good evening, #FiresideFriends. Golden antipasti glow as chatter swells around the table’s gentle light; crisp bites of olives, herbs, and bread ignite the joy that every hungry heart can taste, a fragrant promise rising bright, inviting all to linger through the night. 🎶 youtu.be/od4yFljMRIg?... 🎶

The reason you spilled coffee is because that was in your cup. If you were carrying water, that's what you would have spilled. Whenever life shakes you, what you’re carrying will spill. If you’re carrying fear, jealousy, anger, greed, that’s what will spill. (1/2)

You can't be yourself if you don't know, understand, and accept yourself first. It should be your primary goal to find this out. After all, Oscar Wilde said, "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." 😉

A little something different for #FresideFriends tonight. Thanks for the assist, @rjtinman.bsky.social Rick! Here's some wine, beer and coffee for you to offer.

Mg brother Rick @rjtinman.bsky.social and I were talking and I mentioned Jaye @jaybird54.bsky.social was walking the beach looking for sea glass, which he asked about. For those who don't know: youtu.be/59KxwKqqcFI?... It comes from Japanese Glass Floats, too, like this one I found in Alaska.

Good morning! Healing & growth aren't separate journeys, they beautifully intertwine, allowing you to nurture the scars of the past while embracing the limitless potential of who you're becoming. You can carry the fragments of what hurt you while making room for the person you're growing into.

Times of survival help us shift our perspective, developing strategies and skills to realize what is important after losing that focus; in this way we thrive again, nurturing, developing and growing to discover what is important to ourselves individually and as a whole. 🎶 youtu.be/jZhQOvvV45w?... 🎶
