“I wish it need not have happened in my time.”

“So do I… and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

--JRR Tolkien

Looking forward to it.

Happy Saturday. So while you're having fun, I'm working on the companion book to my forthcoming oracle cards! I'm communing with archetypes, editing facilitator notes, and deciding how much existential dread is appropriate per page. No no... don't mind me one bit. #writerlife #writersky #shadowwork

I experiment there. But does expose the gaps. Would I really just sit there gabbing and pointing at stitched images? Gawd, it makes me feel tired.

So... one of the school districts I work with in a high SES area has parents protesting at board meetings against their children learning healthy coping skills because (per them), "that makes kids become trans or furries." And today I discovered they do not want kids taught kindness. Jesus!

Temperature is finally moderate. And look at this gorgeousness. #pacific #PCH #marina #beauty

Now imagine if Biden or Hillary posted that video. My god, these people are irredeemable.

Oh man... this is what's happening in Southern California. #wildflowers #gardening #earlyspring #climatechange

The special education teachers I’ve worked with meet kids where they are, give them a voice, and make sure they’re seen. That takes real skill. #teachers #specialeducation #emotionalsupport #hope

Ok. I'm game. 5 jobs I've had:

Psychotherapist
School Psychologist
Writer
Actor
Dancer (no not go-go)

Honorable mention - Radio DJ. Completed my training and then thought, “why am I doing this?” and quit.

Cheeky. Threat level: Thunder Road.

I think Barley has the right idea. #dogs #cutepups #dogsky #puppypower

It's January and I already have blooms. The last blooms dropped off in November! How is this possible? #orchids #gardening

Mars-Pluto conjunction building now

Oh man. So hard to hear. Hugs.

Two projects, one haunted workspace: Grimm’s Wisdom Cards are nearing final form (more projection, more bite, more story), and I’m also deep into the 30-year anniversary re-issue of The Once Unknown Familiar. Sample deck + book drafting next. Sneak peeks 👇

It's like you can't even say "Blessed Yule" anymore. They've made it illegal. 😂

There's a war on Solstice.

Experimental Magic: Image of the Sun According to Baphomet The image of the Sun according to Baphomet is a serpent with the head of a woman, or of a lion, or with a beard, wearing a crown. To her left is a crescent moon; to the right is a shining star. Ove…

Happy Solstice, everyone
I'm celebrating and starting this solar year by reupping this highly successful experiment:

Happy Winter Solstice.

Pretty violent. I forgot it was Lanthimos, who absolutely brings a mix of traditional US and European aesthetics. Well, US expectations and a European worldview. No wonder how the ending went down... I wouldn't have made those choices. But 🤷‍♂️. Let me know what you think if you see it.
