A digital picture of an oracle card, that looks like it stands on a wood table, and the background is gray and cloudy.

In the top right and bottom left corner there is an illustration, that looks like some dried flower branch. It's the same in both corner, just mirrored.

In the middle there is a brown pot that shows some fracutre-lines on it's surface.

In the bottom rigth corner there are two texts beneath each other.
On the top it says veszteség.
On the bottom it says loss.

My daughter made a crochet bee family which is really cute. Here's what she did: I made a little bee and a jumbo bee. I used chenille and a mix of acrylic yarns for the small bee and fluffy yarn for the big bee. I didn't have white fluffy yarn for the wings so I used blue instead. #crochet

Even after all that, all the scheming and betrayals, I found I didn't #harbour any ill will towards him. In fact, I realised that I did not have any feelings, good or bad, towards anyone. It was as if, since I died and was summoned back, I'd left my heart behind in that cold, barren place. #vss365

Aaaahhhh I have the exact word in Darwin's Cliff! I discovered the concept of foreboding joy via Brené Brown and have had an uncomfortable awareness of it ever since, so of course it made its way into something I'm writing. 🏷️ #LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Worry would be easy to justify now. There are many things that could go horribly wrong. Instead, I choose to #harbour anticipatory optimism. As I wait for the big things to turn out right, I can't help but notice all the little things that already do. #vss365

I write for myself and I share for connection. Doing the writing and sharing the writing serve different functions for me. I feel that difference most when I'm doing other creative things that I don't share. Writing just happens to be a form of creativity that fulfils both desires. 🏷️ #PretendPanel
