I just discovered Emily Scott Robinson, and this album that she just released #Applachia is fricking, beautiful and amazing.

I asked for a sign. When I didn’t take the first one seriously, another flew straight into my path and refused to leave. I wrote about what happened next—because I couldn’t ignore it anymore. 📖 Read my full story here: 🔗 Medium: shorturl.at/d3Krl 🔗 Substack: shorturl.at/srcky

I wasn’t looking for meaning, but meaning found me. Have you ever asked for a sign and had something completely unexpected happen? I wrote about an encounter I couldn’t explain away. 📖 Read about it here: 🔗 Medium: shorturl.at/d3Krl 🔗 Substack: shorturl.at/srcky And yes it involves a Flicker 😉

This little creek bed is in my neighborhood and it’s usually dry or has a trickling of water. It’s been raining since yesterday and this is what it looks like right now. #sonomacounty #california #norcal

I wrote really my first poem. It might be atrocious, but it made me feel better, so please be kind if you happen upon it. I’m finding more and more that poetry is feeding my soul right now and making me more resilient so I’m reading a lot of it.

This from a Deadline article today and is why staying on meta products isn’t doing anything to them. Not enough people in the US are leaving all the meta platforms.

Hey what songs would you put on a Female Rage & Joy playlist? Here’s what I’ve put together so far. Please send me your suggestions.

Current mood. I may be playing this and Vampire for the next several days plus Karma and Vigilante Shit by TS. And WAKE UP by Rage Against the Machine. What will you be listening to?

Have you ever bought a writing journal that is so beautiful that you hate to use it? I think I’m gonna have to break the seal on this one for my most raw and tender feelings and thoughts.

So this happened to me today. I made a comment on Threads about Meta and it got replied to by Zuckerman, I’m assuming his team, not really him and now I’m being cited in articles. Tap on photo to see the full exchange.

One of the things that I love in Santa Rosa is the mansion from the movie Pollyanna with Hayley Mills is here. I so loved that movie as a kid. Happy new year.

I got a cool new mug. I’ve never particularly had an affinity with snakes. But something seems to have shifted because when I saw this, I was surprised at how much it pulled at me. “But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time”

Only time vodka is involved in my life (I’m a bourbon/wine girl) is when I make my own essential oil sprays. Put one together for myself w/lavender, rose geranium, pine & eucalyptus and I am just walking around my house spraying it in front of me it is so delightful. So grateful for plant medicine.

Different Tagetes (marigold) blooms. Such wonderful plant medicine. The bridge between life and death, creativity, strength, the light within us. The plant itself smells amazing. Inspiration.

Does anyone else love radishes with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper?

Working on getting this ebook available on my site. When I was growing up I didn’t feel resilient & I thought you were either born with it and you had it or you didn’t. It really wasn’t until my husband died that I feel like I fully cultivated resiliency into my life. You CAN learn to be resilient.

Bowl break. Take a few few minutes to listen to the sound of the bowls breathe and come into the present moment. #soundbath #meditation #meditationpractice #selfcare (I had to cut 7 seconds at the end)

Dreaming of putting an oracle deck together for The Alchemy of Self-Leadership Here’s a Dalle image of giving YOURSELF permission. You don’t have to wait for someone else to validate you or tell you you’re good enough or give you permission. Give yourself permission. #leadership #spirituality

Resilience isn’t found in avoiding discomfort, but in embracing it. In Transformative Self-Leadership, resilience becomes a lifelong companion. It teaches us that strength isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting that we’re capable of navigating what comes our way.
