I am not much of a resolution person. ‘Resolute’ is unwavering, unswerving. ‘Resolute’ seems so brittle and harsh – I suppose we could view Winter that way. But I see Winter as coziness and warmth; a nesting and nurturing; 🪽rest🪽. I like my new years gentle, easy, soft. I baby them like the new creatures they are. After the old year ended in bombardment – visceral, visual, virtual – I yearned for complete quiet. Hadn’t floated since 2017, when I was deeply entrenched in postpartum depression. Today’s experience @liftfloats was different. Then, I so desperately grasped for peace. An escape. Today, I just… let go. I let peace come to me if she wanted to. No need for escape… rather… a release of what was no longer serving me. I wasn’t able to fully settle my mental tab today, but I began building a wavering foundation. One that will move with me🪽gently🪽as I build this structure that will become 2024. Gently… NY friends, if you are interested in the transformational power of floating, I have an incredible discount code for $30 off your first float! 🛟FloatAH1🛟 Tell the amazing humans @liftfloats I sent you! #liftfloats #sensorydeprivation #liftnextlevelfloats #brooklyn #newyorkcity

Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. 👻
A Christmas Eve offering. Sung betwixt church services, laundry (hear the dryer in the background?), wrapping, cooking, Elf and Home Alone… Imperfect. Harried. Human. A moment I seized to be present. To witness. Christmas feels different this year – too loud, too laborious. I am working too hard to feel festive. I’m faking it. And that’s okay. I envision the birth of Jesus was a not-so-silent night. Surrounded by sound and mess…uncomfortable, uncertain. Imperfect. Harried. Human. So, maybe…let us just…be present. Let us witness. Let us love…*now.* Love is, after all, the only gift that truly matters. 🕊️

Lucky number 7. A study in contrasts: His bricks of anger build cathedrals of adoration. His loud leads to love. His nature is to nurture. Every fiber in his body buzzes with funny. (He has at least two funny bones). He is engaging. He is enraging. He is so musical that even his tantrums have rhythm and blues. He is chaos and care. He is storm and sun. He is rough and tumble and so soft and gentle. He loves to try new things, unless it’s food. Then it’s “not today, Satan.” He is a creator and a destroyer, both maker and monster. At 7 – some adult teeth peek through his gummy smile but the baby ones hold. The baby ones hold. I know it’s said that babies don’t keep, but I reject this notion. He shall forever be this little light of mine, my North Star, the love of my life. Happy 7th birthday, imp supreme.
