Rock Creek Park; Washington, DC, USA

Walks in the park have kept me sane during this time. Loving spending time in nature along with my new four-legged neighbor who moved in upstairs.
What a lovely thing to think about! Recently someone told me that I was welcoming - further explaining that I would be a great person for someone to meet at a party who didn’t know anyone. Warmed my little heart!

I find clarity and calm through engaging several senses at once. Italy, flowers, an anthropology volcano candle, and the sound of Kacey Musgraves singing on the Echo.
“Thanks for being such a delightful friend.”

This pic is my friend Suzette’s breakfast nook. Recently I had the pleasure of caring for her animals and home while she was away. As a writer, I found myself coming back to the nook throughout the days to jot an idea or compose a few paragraphs. A great respite from caregiving - caring for her animals, the nook, AND her screened-in front porch complete with porch swing, and the back yard. All these spaces represent calm for me and allowed me to feel like I was on a restful vacation.
Last compliment received (it was from Suzette): “I noticed the sage in front of the porch was blooming and a sage bush in the back that’s never bloomed before is blooming. And a spider lily in front is blooming. I think that’s about you being here.”
‘Practice self care. Practice self love.
It starts with us and radiates outward. Be the light.’

It's just nature's peace- keeping the calm in a hectic world
I was just told about a photo shown to me: "All I remember is how beautiful you were [on my birthday]"

This is a marsh in Essex, MA. I have found nature to be the most helpful during COVID/this election season. The birds, the water, and the flowing grasses remind me how little control humans have, and that we should be protecting our earth above everything.
“I make good farro risotto? I guess that counts, haha.”
