🦋 Photo dump. Bizzy bizzy bizzy! May or may not livestream Friday. Um… why are there no photos of Mala Beads in here? 🐕📿 He’s perfect. Does NOT want to go outside in the rain. We’re enjoying the cozy. I’m churning out custom plan•it planners and OMG, they are spectacular. 🦋✨ Okay, that’s it for my visit to IG this time. (I do not miss social media AT ALL.) ♥️ Sending you love. Hope you are thriving! 😘 Come visit at Discord. 🪩👽🫧

Stopped by FB for the first time in weeks... and had endless spam to clean up. NOT making me miss this place, Zuck! 🙄

Okay… hear me out. My ads are suggesting Mala needs this ski-suit thing. We live at the beach. This is ridiculous, of course. 🐕📿🪩🫧👽 Hubs says it’s not a ski-suit, it’s a spacesuit. And now I KNOW we need to have it.

I’m not mad at it.

Happy happy happy birthday to the person who turned me into an aunt! , you are an incredible human, amazing father, and one of the wisest souls I know. Here’s to another trip around the Sun! ♥️ I love you!

Sunday is NEW TOY DAY for Mala 🐕📿♥️ (it’s also when we secretly retire a carcass from his impressive collection). He knows where we keep the new toys and when I say, “Guess what day it is!” in my Mala-mama voice, he loses his s**t, filled with glee for getting to choose his next victim. I open the drawer, he looks at the options, gives a few a good sniff, then makes his choice. He always gives the toy ONE GOOD SQUEAK to locate the squeaker, then he proceeds to conduct a squeakerectomy. He’s VERY skilled at this procedure. Proud alumni of and . 🐕📿

That part. Treasure your nervous system. Give its vigilance some time off. Breathe. Hug yourself. Rest. Hydrate. Connect with nature. Just be… without judgment, without comment. You are enough. 💐🦋🫧

It’s a leaf-shaped piece of a seashell that he has carried around for 10+ minutes, hubs says. 🥰🐕📿 I love love love where I live live live! 🌴☀️🌊

He climbed up on the tower of pillows and blankets to stand on me and protect me… and then I gave him the KILL DADDY command. 😘🐕📿🤣 We have fun.

Be the lighthouse, not the liferaft. ✨ This is something I’ve been saying forever. We often see people out there in need of help and we get out in the water with them, hoping they’ll stop flailing. Hoping they’ll hang onto us. Hoping that our energy will sustain the both of us while we struggle back to shore. Often, in this scenario, we end up exhausted… and the person we rescued gets back out in that water again anyway.
😬
When instead we’re the lighthouse, standing still and consistently shining our light from the shore, we help illuminate a solution for all who wish to change course and head our way. We do not end this energetic encounter spent and frustrated. We remain luminous and strong. Role modeling through our subtle moves that everyone can get to a more stable place when they follow the light.
☀️
How can you remember this when you feel compelled to dive into deep, dark waters?

Hubs took Mala Beads to the beach to experience fog. Luckily, all his favorite smells were still there (Mala’s favorite smells, not the hubs’). 🐕📿♥️ I love love love where I live live live! 🌴☀️🌊

Another time I had bangs. Hapeville, GA. Obsessed with that rust s**g carpet.

10/01/2023

Okay, girl. 🤩 Git it! 😘 That’s me, age 17. 👯‍♀️

Mercury’s day is for multitasking! 🎉👯‍♀️🐕📿♥️

72 years ago, a couple o’ teenagers from Hapeville, GA got married right out of high school. I’m glad they did such a crazy thing. 💐💗

🕯️The hubs has been going through some health stuff. Today, he got some good news. PHEW! 🎉 Celebrating this big exhale with a photo of him from 22+ years ago, when I convinced him that TEDDY was the role he wanted in the Michigan community theatre performance he was doing before packing up and moving to Hollywood to do the showbiz thing (and to be with me). ♥️ I love you, honey. I’m so glad this scare is behind us. ✨⚕️🌙

Have a Mala-balla weekend! 🐕📿♥️ I love love love where I live live live! 🌴☀️🌊

I’m not kidding when I tell you how much I love this human. = pure superstar status. Thank you for always making me feel understood and unconditionally loved. Happy birthday, you Virgo goddess. Keep showing the world how much beauty you are capable of expressing through your inspired vision. ✨👑💗

I can’t with all this love and sweetness. 🐕📿♥️

Luckily, our baby is ridiculously well behaved, but this is so real I could not stop giggling.

08/27/2023

Look! I did a livestream! It’s been a while, so I’m rusty but I’m having fun figuring it all out again. HUGE thanks to for boosting my visibility, to for boosting my confidence, and to for boosting my accountability and F-U-N factor! ✨♥️🥰 What should my next topic be?

08/26/2023

Patiently waiting for me to stop working so we can play. 🐕📿 ♥️

I can’t argue with any of these. 🤣 + CANNOT stop giggling.

Wow. 7 years. I remember hoping I could make it to 7 hours #sober. I was certain I'd fail before getting to 7 days. 7 weeks? Um... this was election 2016... no chance I'd stay sober facing this + the hubs in emergency surgery they weren't sure he'd survive. By the time a benchmark like 7 months was hanging out there, I knew, #sobriety was (and is) my way of life. I'd done more than my share of power drinking in life. I built an empire on vodka and no sleep. And now I was finding out what loving myself more than needing to escape myself might feel like. Every day, I learn more about how it feels to choose loving myself -- exactly as I am -- over escaping myself. Sometimes it's hard. Sometimes it's existential-crisis-inducing. Hence the Saturn image on this little celebration graphic. Saturn has us do hard things. Saturn holds boundaries. Saturn says NO and means it. And every 7 years, we face a #SaturnSquare. It's a quarter-turn along the #SaturnReturn we'll be having down the line. These are major turning points in life. The times when Daddy Saturn squares us by the shoulders, shakes us, and sternly asks, "Are you living the life you came here to live?" I am. More and more each moment of each day. Each beautifully sober -- and sobering -- moment of my life, I am closer to being exactly who I'm meant to be. As with all Saturnian experiences, I am humbled and grateful to everything that has created and contained these #7yearsSober. So so so very grateful to be alive. #IBelongHere #VenusRuledMoonBaby #BonnieGillespie #SelfManagementForActors #ChartHarmony #enoughness Very special thanks to @communicatrix @markgantt and @bexweller. 💗💐👑
