I love this quote that I saw from Insight Timer earlier this week…and it applies to *all* of our connections, not just romantic.
An image of a quote: “People grow when they are loved well. If you want to help others heal, love them without an agenda.” - Mike McHargue

I was mistaken, thinking this bag that I purchased was mine…it’s now Liza’s *third* bed. 😑
A fluffy black cat is curled up tightly in a cream-colored, quilted circular bag, nestled on a red and black plaid blanket. The cat appears cozy and comfortable, with its fur blending softly against the textured background and the padded edges of its bag.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Calming waters. #baybridge #sf #sanfrancisco
The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge spans across calm blue waters under a dramatic sky with wispy clouds at twilight. A silhouetted pillar stands in the foreground while the bridge’s distinctive suspension towers stretch into the distance.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My first-ever set of watercolors! 🎨
A watercolor palette and mixing tray on a wooden table, with a sheet of paper showing color swatches in yellows, greens, and blues. Some yellow swatches are labeled "tea," "coffee," and "milk."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In 2017, I was living in NYC and was let go from Meetup. People on my team gave me a book of Mary Oliver’s poems (my favorite poet) and they all wrote a note in it. It’s my most treasured possession and gets me through difficult times. ❤️😭

It can feel like so much of adulthood is trying to recapture that feeling of “home”. It took me several tries…but it feels so good to have finally found home again. Thank you, #SanFrancisco. ❤️🌁

I knew I’d be an emotional mess, so I watched #Flow at home instead of at the theatre. 😭😭😭 So many emotions… #cat lovers deserve more beautiful films like this.
