With the new year comes the urge to leap towards goals with fervor. I am starting with planning for rest. It is outside of my comfort zone to move slowly so here is a mantra inspired by @tscottmiller. #pumpthebrakes #militantselfcare #executivedirectin [Image description: a green sign that reads "Pump the brakes." in white lettering. Beneath it are office toys - a my little pony figurine, a tiny pacman arcade game, a yellow vase with a peacock feather in it.]

Oh my goodness. I just realized I've been taking cello lessons for over a year. I gave myself this gift because my family couldn't afford lessons when I was a kid, the cello is a gorgeous instrument, and I really needed to give myself a scheduled thing that had nothing to do with my work. Despite everything, I have managed to go to a 30 minute lesson almost every week for over a year. I STUCK WITH IT! Iam still making angry cat noises in pursuit of this hobby so yaaay me! Best compliment this year came from my kids - "Mom, that almost sounds like a song now!" 😂🎻 #militantselfcare #ichooseme #bebecellist [Image description: a black woman sits with her cello and snaps a picture in the mirror. She has purple curly hair in a ponytail and is wearing clear framed glasses. Big plant leaves are in the photo too.]

State sanctioned violence is normalized and we barely blink when bombs fall. When people are killed by a tyranical leader. At least we're happy #NoWarWithIran H/T @mia.mingus . . [image of a poem: We Lived Happily During the War By Ilya Kaminsky And when they bombed other people’s houses, we protested but not enough, we opposed them but not enough. I was in my bed, around my bed America was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house. I took a chair outside and watched the sun. In the sixth month of a disastrous reign in the house of money in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, our great country of money, we (forgive us) lived happily during the war.]
