Getting home from co-hosting ROOTED this evening, a Black Sacred Collective.
Rather than do more, we did less tonight, to celebrate. Left more space to just be.
Then, surprise: how sweet, a bouquet of flowers ❤️
It's been lovely to hold space with all who hold space.
My Spirit is Rooted, indeed.
I made a cornament. 😁🌽
It's so cute!

When you have an evening meeting on Zoom, it's important to bring dinner in order to nourish yourself.

I've neglected the garden recently. I went by to water it, expecting the worst. It's hot outside, as we are in second summer. Despite my lack of weeding, watering and care, many plants are still here. I'm amazed by the resiliency of Texas Sage, a native plant.
Sage wisdom, indeed.

Love is...when the NDN Aunties quietly gift you beaded earrings they made, just because. 😍🤩😍
Community medicine, for sure.

A softened close-up view of a serviceberry tree branch with two small, round, red-to-purple berries. The berries are transitioning from red to a deep purple, and on has small, lighter-colored spots. In the background, several out of focus green leaves are visible.
The Serviceberry economy thrives when all its members are thriving and sharing reciprocal bonds that enable the economy to flourish.

I watched The Sound of Music at The Paramount Theatre in Austin. (It was my mom's favorite movie.)
I love and hate that it's such a timeless classic.

I love happiness management. Rather than focusing on reducing stress or anger, I practice elevating my happiness.
I'm off from work Monday, but many places, activities, and restaurants are closed.
What are some places that cultivate joy on Monday (day or night)?
I'd hoped for another sewing lesson this week.
But I'm grateful for the different lessons over the years and memories and for having a bonus mom in Texas.
Love you, daughter #5.
I know you'd chastise me for still not finishing that mending project I started last year, meanwhile you'd made a whole table runner, and window valences functioning with almost no energy while I sat watchful on summer afternoon.

The sewing lesson.
An exhausting joy ride to Walgreens just a few minutes down the road to buy batteries for the sewing lamp you explained would make it easier to see handstitch work.
A lesson on using a sewing machine. It's easy peasy, and worth it to customize things for your home.
Second float of the season. It's always chaotic getting yourselves on to the water, but once you're in, you just let go and flow.

Food that tastes good, that is good for me, and good for the community and beyond.

Picked up a variety of cold pressed juice (including one poured over ice that I practically inhaled on this hot 100°+ Austin, TX, day) from @jeanyscaribbeanelixirs

Today/this week I'm sitting with the value of EQUITY, thinking about what I think it means, and thinking about what actions I can take to live out the concept of equity in a more meaningful way.
Supporting local food vendors is something I don't do enough of.
