Hard to believe the first half of 2025 is almost out of here. It used to amuse me — as a kid — when "old" people would say that "time flies," but now I get it!

@Theholisticpsyc Maybe we should start with creating a system that doesn't require so many people to hold 2-3 jobs just to afford the very basics of life...
There is much "motivational wisdom" out there on the power of fearlessly starting over... but relatively modest coverage of WHY someone finds themselves having to "start over" for the 47th time. Why IS that?

There's something out of balance with a world in which we wake up every morning knowing we're going to be out of energy, bandwidth and money by the end of the day... simplify your world!

@HeidiPriebe1 There's enormous power in turning our backs on the chaos and making peace with being what many people consider "boring!" And that's the thing, isn't it? True authenticity and living consciously often looks dull to the "excitable majority!"
Getting really honest with ourselves sometimes looks (to others) like we’re taking steps backwards because we’re no longer performing that which is socially rewarded, but inauthentic.
This is actually an incredibly important middle step.
There HAS to be a "common thread" linking all this #strife and #unrest in the world, from personal to regional to global. People discuss lots and lots of *#symptoms,* while studiously avoiding what lies below.
#Fear is the mindkiller. And it makes people behave badly..
There is so much natural beauty all
around us. We just need to pause
and pay attention. Sunrise and
sunset are perfect times for
reflection and meditation.
Take the time to
appreciate the
amazing beauty
surrounding
you.

I don't really mind being served up ADS here... commerce happens, right?
What I MIND is that the ads aren't actually for "that cool product" but for a crap $1.99 copy of aforesaid cool product.

This morning, I was reminded that the reason I "woek up" my social media accounts recently was to (among other things) promote my #artwork/creativity.
The first response I got was someone (scammer) on #Etsy wanting to "buy my store name for $700."
::Sigh::
@jaynielea Hmm... there's always the classic Shangri-La or Eden, or maybe something short like Hope (which we all could definitely use!)... or Dreamland... because we are dreaming, after all!
