I journaled this on July 1st of this year:

"Very few, if any, structures and systems that we have set up honor and respect human nature....The cycles, the flow, the desires, the emotions .

Almost every system is set up in order to coax towards comfort, (the designs of homes and cars and AI) while other systems and structures are set up in order to direct and / or motivate us towards the desires of a select few. They work in tandem.

If they like you, if you create what they need you to create, consistently, you will be rewarded.

Behave (or simply exist) against that and there will be negative consequences."

When I say, "let's play!", it isn't just so you can feel joy, relief, release.

It is so that some part of that sneaks into your body. It is me, whispering underneath these systems screaming at us, hoping we both remember that things *don't have to be this way*.

Play is perspective.
Play is an allowance of our deeper human nature.

Let's play.

Don't forget...THIS SATURDAY. We'll be INSIDE, in air conditioning, indulging in the best snacks and just RELAXING.

Bring your favorite store-bought snack with a little extra to share, and come take a bit of time for yourself.

We take far too many things for granted, as luxuries, that could actually be critical tools for improved well-being. Play, movement, ....massage.

I was reminded of this yesterday when I had a massage done by Daniëlle Schrijver .

A while back, I had done some trade work with Danielle, taking photos for the studio in exchange for some sessions. I was honestly so affected by the work I had both with Danielle and another therapist there, Karol, that I ended up scheduling more paid sessions.

There is an undescribable transformation that comes after a good massage. I'm not just talking about the gentle, put you to sleep type ones, which are also nice.

I'm talking about a session where you feel heard, where you feel witnessed, and where you feel held and touched by someone who is deeply knowledgeable and equally empathetic. What comes from sessions like that is profound, something I can't quite describe because doing so would lessen its impact.

All I can say for now is that I highly recommend booking a session with Danielle, and or a session at The New Narrative Massage .

Especially as we age, we discover that well-being is not something that we can nor should take as a luxury. Don't wait to care for yourself, and invite others in who can help.

Hey, you. I've got something you might want to know.

Today's bubble walk was fun and so uplifting! Multiple people smiled, laughed, and shared comments about loving the bubbles as we walked downtown.

Thank you, for joining me today and creating joy!

This will definitely happen again so be sure to follow for upcoming dates 🫧❤️🫧

Today! 4:00.

Walkin' and blowin' bubbles for 30-34 minutes.... because movement and play are some of the best things you can do for yourself right now.

See you at the Sample Gates?!?!

(BYOBubbles if you have them - but I'll also have some to share!)

I listened to a video that Elise Myers posted today. She mentioned feeling, "homesick for myself". Lonely. And I think a lot of this are feeling that these days.

But for those of us introverts, those of us who often choose to stay home because it is FAR more comfy,...

For those of us who stumble out of bed to the tired push of life into one more morning of coffee and one more email, but not so much the delightful pull of desire and curiosity and what ifs ...

It can be quite overwhelming to deal with that loneliness and have the energy to explore the homesickness.

That's one reason I'm creating these small events.

One tiny yes.

One person doing it can seem crazy. Two people doing it is an invitation. Three is an unignorable call.

Join us for one or both of these (with more to come). No judgments, just exhales and whimsy.

[If you are on FB, head to to find the FB events & join...or comment here and let me know you'll be there!.]

🫧BUBBLE WALK🫧

THIS Sunday (6/9/2026), 4:00 pm - approx 4:45 pm. Bloomington, IN....meet at the Sample Gates.

Why?
🎈BECAUSE we NEED more whimsy in life.
🎈Because it has been a long week.
🎈Because sometimes you need a reason/excuse to break the routines and just do something weird.
🎈Because BUBBLES.

We're going to start at the Sample Gates and saunter down Kirkwood, possibly around the square, and then back to the Sample Gates.

Along the way, we'll blow bubbles. We'll blow bubbles for our own enjoyment and for the delight of anyone else who also might be out and about.

I'll have a few extra bubble bottles, but please bring your own if you have them.

All ages welcome (parents responsible for your kiddos, please and thank you). Adults especially encouraged.

Questions? Comment below.
