I have been away from home, helping my mother care for my father who has Parkinson’s. Caretaking is this ever shifting mixture of deeply fulfilling & totally exhausting. You’re constantly arriving for someone, in service of them, caring for them & it’s easy to look up at the end of the day & wonder where you have gone.. On my first trip out to see them I packed in a hurry, leaving all teas & tinctures at home. I missed them dearly. I’m packing them first this time.

A highlight from this week was sitting down to share dinner & my favorite documentary with @wiggitywhitney She brought over some NA bubbly & we oohed & awwed through Rivers & Tides - which follows Andy Goldsworthy through the fields, into the forest & down to the shore as he makes unspeakably beautiful things with the nature that surrounds him. As a film it has the ability to regulate & inspire your nervous system.. It may also make you want to run off into the woods & never return - for the joy of it.

I love a short story & this book has been floating around my apartment for years, deeply loved. I worked through it pretty slowly - not wanting it to end. Recently I had a dream that I gave it to a friend. So I delivered it to him in waking life. Funny enough he, thought it was a self help book😂

If you love women - if you are a history buff - if you feel like most stories have something monumental left out of them.. I have a podcast for you! They aim to put women back into history & I have been enjoying it so much! Check it out..

My friend Lynn opened a diner - Lynny’s, like Denny’s but with more love. It began as a trailer & there is now a brick & mortar too. Originally she only needed one percolator to manage the demand & now now these three beauties greet you when you walk in. It’s been such a joy to see see her dream grow.. & to enjoy the coffee.
