3 Days

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you joy, other positive feelings, or actionable goals. If not, I hope that it reduces negativity and suffering in your life, at a minimum. 

Because...it's Day 10 of the 12 Days! We are in double digits. Three days to go (counting today) until the big celebration on Saturday 4/12 - the day that we will be liberated from the Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs), according to Church Prophesy. It's also the first Dane County Farmer's Market on Saturday and the weather is prophesied (by Weather Bug) to be very nice that day. So Deborah and I will check it out! We might even take the BRT, which I have been wanting to do for some time now.

I am actually too busy focusing on Leisure Science today to post much. Suffice to say, I had a rocking morning and knocked off a ton of chores (recycling, compost, dishwasher, fruit salad, etc.). I have my Mindfulness Class here in a little bit. Then I'll meet my folks at Starbucks for a coffee and a chat over the noon hour. I think my dad is struggling with some things and I want to offer him some emotional safe space to work through it. I will see a handful of marriage and family therapy clients today too. So, I'll pause it there for today.

Leave a comment below and let us know how your 12 Days are going.

Ciao!

Action Packed

Hi Readers!

I hope this post finds you and brings you some joy, happiness, or insight.

Today will be action packed...with ROCKING! Well, that might be too strong. This morning, I will actually be JAZZING, as I hone New Orleans style jazz songs for a gig on 3/4/25. This afternoon, I will be semi-acoustically ROCKING with Stefan of GUPPY EFFECT duo fame. So, today will be action packed...with MUSIC-ING. But, that doesn't roll off the tongue quite as easily.

Yesterday, I said I would propose a wellness challenge for this coming week. I wanted to propose challenging everyone to go without any social media (SM) for a whole week. However, I realized how impossible that would be, due to the highly addictive nature of SM. Most people simply could not abstain from SM for a whole week, or even a whole day. So, instead, the challenge is: try not to actively engage with SM for a whole week. You can look at it (after all, SM advertisers are paying for your eyes). But don't like or emoji anything you see. Don't comment on things you see. Definitely DO NOT POST anything. Can you do it? Still highly doubtful. But...that is why it is a challenge. If it were easy, you would not feel challenged.

The Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs) are out in force these days. Continue to intentionally practice your self care toward their demise.

Take care!

Fin.
