Compassion: October 2022
It’s like a mother, when the baby is crying, she picks up the baby and she holds the baby tenderly in her arms. Your pain, your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. You have to go back to yourself, to recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and you … Continue reading Compassion: October 2022

Bring in the New: 10/17 – 23 WRD
A new aide is coming tomorrow, and my sister will handle it. I both feel guilty and not -- she works in retail, so it's a busy time for her.

Looking for Color: 9/26 – 10/2 WRD

Despite the very warm stay at my moms, I rallied back this week -- which still only meant two days of running, but it is what it is.
