Attempting to sneak in the 1st episode of season 2 of 1923 before a Zoom gathering. The opening shot of the mountains makes me long for Montana. We in the USA have the most beautiful land of all kinds, sea to shing sea. I feel grateful to have seen so much of it. 💕🇺🇸

This denial/bargaining stage tracks.

Checking on the creek.

To: My daughter: 🤣

He was unaware that he was unique all along.

If there is any emo debris in your hips, take a walk with this song.

Yep, I hugged her. #Selfcare

This one too. Get you a playlist. Stay encouraged for the marathon. #selfcare

Stevie Wonder is on my heal myself playlist.

Angels dancing with me. Ask for help. They’ll show up. #Sobersky

My 4 mile dance line. No coat! 46° F. More than enough time and room to give whatever it is air. Accepting all that is - it is what it is. Breathe in okness. 💕🦋 #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

A sober friend called & told me about the things flooding her brain & the thought of drinking alcohol. I listened closely & said, “This sounds like Jim in our book. Could I read to you?” Together, we created a plan for her program and self care so she didn’t have to be like Jim. Reach out. #Sobersky

Things that make you go hmmm. 🤔

The people who benefit from you saying yes when you want to say no are not going to like this level up. They will figure it out. When your no is a no, your yes is a full yes, life is really fun! And you do things with vitality because you aren’t drained. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

And just like that, the darling young lady who gave me rides to the gathering in LA, received her one year birthday cake. And I got to speak! What an honor, privilege & pleasure. I think of all these young ones as my nieces and nephews. I believe in you. Do the work. Get it. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

The deer came out of hiding from the cold. People too. 💕🦋

36°F! I’m dancing down my path. My darling, what if you truly believed that every blade of grass rises to greet you and the sky is expansive enough to grow into? But, of course, you’d have to dance. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

I have 10 people who know everything about me because I share honestly with them. They are welcome to give me feedback which I always consider because I know they love me and have competencies in areas I wish to grow. Honesty is a gift you give yourself. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

When you take more risks, the potential for rejection goes up. Acceptance, including allowing any feelings to arise & clear is necessary. Rather than make up a narrative, I simply say, “This situation wasn’t a match.” Live and let live. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

Speak your point with as few words as possible and don’t take the bait. Well done. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s 21°F and I do better when I walk in nature. Can you hear my crunchy steps? #selfcare

And who they didn't like

💥 Apple is upholding its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Despite attack from right-wing anti-DEI shareholder activists -- the same anti-DEI group that targeted Costco. And just like Costco, look for Apple shareholders to tell anti-DEI activists to take a hike on Feb 25.

Good questions.

These town hall meetings are giving me life. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tonight, I attended a house party concert, a quartet who played across many genres and, even more surprising, spoken word. It has been a very difficult week, yet I feel so much better. Please consider finding something you find pleasurable with others and put your phone down. #selfcare

My feet have mot entered a Target since they made this decision. I dance through Costco once or twice a week.

And I can teach you how to deal with the cold and biohack the short winter days. Come check us out. #BoldNorth #MN

💗💗💗

Today in someone come get your daddy; he unsupervised: an elderly gentleman pickle ball player told me he was sorry I did not have a husband. I laughed and took my leave. The temp gets above 10° F and grandpas get chatty. 🤣

A man was wearing a DOGE T-shirt at the gym today. I put my phone up to my eyes like a protective shield, as I passed. I would not have spoken to him anyway, but 😱

🏳️‍🌈 anthems in the midst of the red hats. Dancing on the treadmill. 💗💗💗

I appreciate this pod: Calm News.

These could be prompts for reflection. Growing spiritually involves considering old ideas. Keep what serves and release that which doesn’t. #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

I once was encouraged to write my principles, morals & values in every area. I figured out my healthy range of pleasurable things, which are not mood altering. On hard days, I ask myself what would make this moment a bit better? I always know. Fresh air, sun, exercise, water, a call… #RecoveryPosse

My friend who has been gravely ill has improved. Feeding tube out & solid food on board. He has surgeries ahead, but might be able to rest at home soon after more than 40 days in hospital. Excellent medical care + 12 step program + Divine & earthly support. Taking the win. 🌟 #RecoveryPosse #Sobersky

The cuteness.
