Things I Am Liking

Tiny sparkles that, like a string of multicolor twinkle lights, create a whimsical display of all that we feel.

Hi everyone, and welcome new subscribers! I am honored you chose to be part of this beautiful space, following the breadcrumbs of this messy, magical, crazy life.

This Things I Am Liking has been at once spontaneous and difficult to compile; spontaneous because I purposely put it together to ease the growing anxiety and notice sensations, colors, and feelings other than tingling, black, fear.

This week, in fact, I have meticulously observed my surroundings in search of four things I am enjoying during this time of unknown.

So now I am sharing it not so that you can all tell me how sorry you are that I am going through a challenging time — for challenges are apart of our lives, I know all of you, and I am aware of all the obstacles that you have experienced in the past, or that are currently facing. So this isn’t really about my specific challenge, rather an affirmation that I can (and you can) intermittently welcome tiny sparkles that, like a string of multicolor twinkle lights, create a whimsical display of all that we feel.

And what a gorgeous sight that is!

I look forward to reading yours.
