Awww thank you my friend!! I am still (3 years in) working on accepting that I am in fact ill lol, but it helps so much to have such a supportive community like you. 💖

Oh, to come to terms...

We’re all wounded, if not ill.

Can get stuff done still.

I so look forward to your Friday postings Bri, and you always give me something meaningful to take into my weekend. Thank you for this! Today's was powerful for me in multiple ways, and this line in particular is going to stay with me: "It will always be imperfect. We are building the coliseum in an earthquake." I tend to read too much into imperfection, often in a self-deprecating way, and this wisdom is an antidote to that--not only personally but collectively. You are a beautiful soul shining a very special light! May the weekend nourish you as you nourish all of us. ❤

Thank you Stephanie, I hope you are having a wonderful and restful weekend! I often get to work with my guitar teacher on this concept of imperfection and he talks about how imperfection is the most important part of art! It is what makes it human. Otherwise, the best art and music would be made by robots. It makes sense to me, but somehow still so hard to wrap my head around my own imperfections haha. Thank you for being here!!
