Haunting Dreams In this poem, I explore how grief shows itself in dreams, where the brain tries to reconcile the longing for a loved one and the reality of death. #poetry #poem #dreamsandgrief

History repeats.

I have to put a plug in for my favorite podcast, @hellorhighrollers.bsky.social on #internationalpodcastday I discovered it last year and fell in love with it. If you like great storytelling, improv, and laughing, this is the podcast for you. #ttrpg

Life’s Unscripted Journey Growing up, I found change hard, as I wanted predictability in my life. Unfortunately, that's not how life works. In June of 2024, I began to do online improv. It was a life changer, as I learned to be present in the moment and adjust to the world as it was. #improv…

Navigating Grief: The Power of Community Connections In this blog, I reflect on the importance of community support not only in my grief journey, but also in finding joy after the death of loved ones. Photography and improv led me to build communities that I didn't think were possible.…

Back to intuitive art. I painted different shapes of bubble wrap, used a brush to do some blending, and then finished with a Pentel brush pen. #artinspiration #artinstagram #intuitiveart #intuitivepainting #watercolors #watercolorart #artoftheday #dailyart #creativity #painting #meditativeart

The Power of Tiny Little Joys "The Power of Tiny Little Joys" is a reflection, inspired by Mary Catherine McDonald, PhD. of finding tiny joys no matter what's happening personally or in the world in order to work against our brain's negative bias. I've learned to savor these moments of joy in…

It feels good to create art as I recover from covid. It's been a while since I've felt inspired. Creating zen patterns is very calming. #artinspiration #artinstagram #intuitiveart #intuitivepainting #watercolormarkers #zenart #zendrawing #artoftheday #dailyart #creativity #drawing #meditativeart

I tested positive on July 29th and negative on August 4th. I'm still suffering from severe exhaustion and respiratory symptoms. I still have long covid symptoms from 2022. What gets me is people saying they forgot covid was still around.

Coping with Depression: Tools and Insights for Recovery In this post I share my journey with depression, tools that I found useful, and the hope of finding joy again. #depression #copingtools #findinghope #findingjoy

I'm glad to hear there is much more attention to long COVID. I've had it for 3 years and I'm just recovering from my second bout of covid. I'm hoping that it doesn't create more issues.

Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor. Have a weekend

Love this video of Against All Gods @hellorhighrollers.bsky.social with Fingers, Chris Leask, and Ghoul, aka Ellie Morris, delight!

I'm glad there's more research being done on long covid. I'm now suffering from my second covid illness and hoping it doesn't worsen the symptoms.
