When time feels unreal

We are a quarter of our way through 2025 and it's, well, a dumpster fire.

It’s okay if you want to bury your head under the covers. It's okay if you haven't gotten your shit together. It's okay if you are still figuring it out.

It's okay if you feel like you can't trust time.

I know. I feel it too.

And, just put one foot in front of the other.

We keep going. We make our own ground. We give it to each other when we can.

Lean into: sanctuary, routines & rhythms, being kind to yourself. Checking in on your people and building your community.
