Thanks to @lowcarbonkev.bsky.social for the excellent graphic. There don’t seem to be that many of us, but, you know, it’s the birding community, so manage your expectations. 🤣

Truth is my foundation, love is my guide.

15/12 because these ovaries are wishful thinking overachievers.

Taught my first ever candlelight restorative class last night. Looooved it. 4 poses in 60min, 15min Savasana. Was a gd treat to lead people in rest.

Know thyself to know thyself.

I like to say we all have a different size & strength of plate. When I’m too social, mine becomes a floppy paper dessert sized plate.

I’m glad I took this night to be alone. Been so busy & occupied for weeks. Needed & took a rest.

Booked a tour with a women who comes to my yoga classes. Best idea ever. Learned so much about the island & my mom absolutely loved chatting up all the locals.

Today: • explored an oceanfront resort that offers day passes • cruised around learning history • art exhibit • arboretum walking tour w labyrinth • farmer market • best conch fritters ever • seaside art/craft fair • invitation to a big birding event on Mon • ran into 7 people I know

I got George Orwell’s Animal Farm for free from the thrift store today. Been meaning to read this for only a couple decades.

Cheers to me learning how to read wind & shit 💅🏽

Inaugural flights for my stunt kite today. It was a bday presey. Stand back y’all, I could both easily & accidentally kite your eye out.

I also accepted an opportunity to teach a month of weekly yoga to a new-to-me community while another teacher is away on holiday. Lil by lil I stretch my wings 🦋

Going to my first Island Ladies Sangha today ✨ A weekly gathering to chat about all things esoteric…delve into sound healing, energy work, meditation. Afterward, I scoop my sweet momma from the airport 💕

My bebby landed safe in Qatar & we got to vid chat💕 The airport there looks rad AF - complete with an indoor rainforest 😍

Ultimately we have just one moral duty: to reclaim large areas of peace in ourselves - more and more peace - and to reflect it towards others. And the more peace there is in us, the more peace there will also be in our troubled world. - Etty Hillesum, Holocaust victim

All of these perpetual squabbles, for what? I’m a blip. You’re a blip. We all just blip blipping til we quit. What a racket.

Hear me out. If the entire human race would just simultaneously ingest a couple gs of psilocybin +/- look at this picture I took, I promise we could achieve world peace.

I’m proud of myself for not solo drinking before the party. My go to w social/crowd anxiety is usually a drank beforehand, then razzle dazzle it’s showtime baby. Granted, I immediately went for the champagne when I got there, but eyy 🥂

Went to the party, had a blast. Saw ~8 folks I know, met many others. The retired island yoga teacher kept introducing me as “the new yoga teacher” and said she’d take me & m’lady birding sometime (she’s an expert). 😁🙌🏽

I’m going for the bubbly & stranger danger. And I was promised the bday song sung to me 2 days early in Polish.

Going to a Xmas cookie exchange party tonight. Host asked folks to bake 5 dozen each. I will not be baking a thing. I’m not a baker, hot ass kitchen mess maker or a sweets gal. 5 doz would be a full on commitment to disappointment for all involved.

Adding this to my [sexual & current racial] minority status: maniac that loves laundry & sees it through to completion both jubilantly & immediately.

Got nekkid just to wash every item of clothing that would end up in the bin today.

One special privilege I enjoy is planning my errands around avoiding people.

Many songs rattlin the feels today.

Earth to Touie 🫰🏽

From start to finish, I forgot 11/11 names today.

Y’all I have FOUR confirmed for my Intro to Yoga workshop! That’s a 4x increase from the partner yoga one in Feb 😂 #Winning

My dinner invite was to a house with a group of progressive Canadian, Scottish, Siberian & American immigrants. Solid food, chats, many perspectives. We all agree, from micro to macro, the world done lost its damn marble.

🙏🏽

Not to brag, but I got invited to 3 Thanksgivings in a country where it’s not a holiday. 🧵

I got the middle guy as an impromptu stick n poke kitchen tat last NYE. A cutesy mortal mark on perspective & it reminded me of scuba bubbles rising/expanding.
