I’ve been so tired
that I could barely respond to the wonderful messages people have been sending me on a lovely new app that Emerson and Hawthorne put me onto called Roost, and I still couldn’t get to all of them. I feel bad, but resting is important. The emotional and physical toll of the past…yes must be catching up to me.
It’s also been six years to the day since my headmate Peri left our ex-husband, Fang, although she wouldn’t leave for Texas until July 11 (Alaska time), so that may be also contributing to the exhaustion somewhat. July seems to be the month of life-altering decisions and plot twist insanity, whether it was Peri leaving Fang, Eight leaving for Philly a year and some later, him starting the relationship for the first time with Zelda the year after that (I can’t quite recall the date of their anniversary, though, but I know it was late July/early August), or my massive seizures that were a major contributing factor in us leaving Zelda that also happened a year ago today, not to mention me finally divorcing Fang officially last year on July 23. So it’s a heavy month for a lot of reasons, full of life changes and memories and grief.
I will admit that I’m fully anticipating tragedy in some form this month given the seizures last year, or some other kind of major upheaval, but I don’t know what it will be and that scares me and that could also be contributing to my fatigue…
We’ll see what happens, I guess. I’ll keep y’all posted, as always.

Was gonna write a blog post about how to grow an authentic personality as an adult who grew up in abuse or a cult or authoritarianism in some form that prevented healthy personality formation in childhood. Where we grew up with a pseudo personality, a false self, constantly wearing a mask and there not being a "real me" under the mask! Because it could never form.
But it can form at any age, if given the chance. Freedom from abuse, safety, and even just one healthy, supportive relationship are what we need. Souls are resilient and can never be fully suppressed, not forever. We can get traumatised and messed with and all sorts of stuff, but we still have our true potential in us, somewhere, even if it is (temporarily) hidden.
Like a flower out of a dung heap, we can grow. Post traumatic growth is real.

At the end of last year, while reading Rebecca Solnit's "A Paradise Built in Hell," many of us encountered the idea of "post-traumatic growth"—a sort of inverse PTSD, where individuals experience increased resilience, strengthened relationships, and personal empowerment as a result of a traumatic event. Excited by this phenomenon (and our own brush with it), a member of our reading group has worked with a friend in clinical psychology to facilitate a presentation and deeper conversation about the power of community in uncertain times.
Please join us on Tuesday at 6:30pm for an in-person discussion and workshop that draws on academic research and our own experiences as disaster survivors to explore the idea of post-traumatic growth!

Just had an eagle circle around the house (can’t decide whether a Golden or White-Tail - but defo one of them).
I’m taking this as a sign from the universe that I’m currently doing and thinking the right thing and that I am where i’m supposed to be exactly at the time i need to be here. -

When the going gets tough, who do you turn to? If you had faces flash in your mind as you read that question, this is for you...
Last week was a rough one professionally for many reasons.
But amidst the gut-wrenching challenges, something magical happened.
It hit me that...
