I've been in the hospital due to increasing difficulty with swallowing. In running tests, they found a mass in my neck CT that is a rare situation. I'm being referred to a specialist at the university hospital in my state. Ugh.

This sounds like an interesting watch

I have started collecting and reading Doctor Who comic books while I wait for the next season. #doctorwho #comic

I hope for a clear sky the night of October 21st. We might be seeing 2 comets along with the peak of the Orionid meteor shower. #comet #meteorshower #october

Yay! 😃

I love this podcast! 😃 #podcast

Happy Friday! Today I hope you have a moment of laughter, good energy, and find something you enjoy to savor. #selfcare #laugh #savor

This evening I met up with a friend and we did some bowling and go-karts! Fun evening with lots of laughter! 😁 #bowling #fun #laugh

Laughter Meditation: Laugh and laugh until you laugh yourself out. I must try this. 😁 #meditation

I just started listening to the audiobook "Under The Whispering Door" 🎧 #audiobook

I can tell I'm going back into Fall mode. I'm back to making my evening pot of hot tea to sip on. 🍂🍁☕😃 #Fall #tea

I spent the weekend hiking and cabin camping in the Mt Saint Helens area. #washington #mtsainthelens #mountain #volcano #outdoors

Rather than going to a community meditation class yesterday, I stayed home to rest. I needed that more. I know why I have been feeling so tired lately, I have a Crohn's flare starting up. Tonight I will go out and do something fun, maybe see a movie. #selfcare #rest #crohns

Resting yesterday felt great. I definitely needed it. Today, bowling league! 😁

I'm making myself rest this evening. I need to give myself more time to rest and relax and get used to the idea that I can feel content in stillness. I can tell my body needs rest. So this evening I am listening to an audiobook and doing a mindfulness meditation. #stillness #relax #selfcare

I'm filling my October calendar with lots of fun activities. It will be a joyful month! 😃 #joy #october

I met Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper today. 😃 #DoctorWho

I'm running around in VR doing Star Trek VR stuff. 😄 Here's a photo of VR me floating in main engineering because I pushed the anti-gravity button: #startrek #virtualreality

Attending my first Oktoberfest event of the season 😃🍻

Listening to music with beta waves while I work, to help keep me focused.

I'm listening to the audiobook "The Untethered Soul" by Michael Singer

Hello Seattle!

I sneezed soda all over my computer 😑

Today I am grateful for creating memorable moments. 😃 #selfcare

I went to the Above and Beyond concert in Washington! 😃

Went to the new arcade in town. 😁 #arcade

I finally understand how to identify and tune in to my true self. I have to be honest with myself on how I feel about a lot of things and ask myself, how can I address it and how do I want to address it. #selfcare

I don't post a lot of my voiceover and acting stuff on here, but 2025 has been a fun year for VO projects. Here's what's showing up on my IMDB for this year with more to come! 😃 #voiceover

I finally bought a big squishy hug pillow. 😃 They reduce stress and anxiety and help in falling asleep faster. #selfcare

Seeing the musical "& Juliet" 😀

What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. #motivation #inspiration

There is a third factor beyond happiness and meaning that contributes to a life well lived—psychological richness. Here's why it matters and how to cultivate it.

I set my goals with intention. I direct my focus on them and look forward to good things to come. #selfcare

The universe is large, and it contains multitudes, but it also contains me, and in this moment, I am wonderful. I have a right to be wonderful. - Life of Chuck

I spent the weekend exploring The Oregon Caves

Hiking Silver Falls State Park. #oregon

What if your emotional sensitivity isn’t a defect or something “broken” about you? What if it’s a gift that needs to be developed—like a great mind or a musical ear?

Bingeing the same TV series and movies, again and again, may look like simple laziness. But research suggests it can actually bring us some significant mental health benefits, starting with these.

At Oregon Country Fair 😃✌️☮️

You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.#motivationo#inspirationon

I feel I have done really well at learning to prioritize my emotional well-being and stepping back from dynamics that trigger my nervous system into anxiety. I'm setting important boundaries. #selfcare #anxiety #wellness #boundaries
