Happy Saturday friends!

I am in recovery mode this week and will leave you with just a short newsletter but some really good memes!

I was poisoned in my pottery class last week by Glade Plug-ins or something similar and have been quite sick this past week. Those of us that are sensitive know that chemical scents can do this but the vast majority don't realize. 

If you are in that vast majority read these please and save the rest of us :-) I will just list two, there are many more. If you need scents, maybe try organic essential oils, I like Revive (no kickback, I just like them.) Not only will your sensitive friends and relatives thank you, your own body will as well!

WALK FOR PEACE:

The monks are getting closer! You can see their live map here, currently heading towards Greensboro. They are scheduled to be in Raleigh on Saturday, Jan 24th.

THE MEMES:

This was me this week:

Hopefully you'll get this quicker than I did! I had to ask my brother when he sent it to me! Haaaa!

Botox...crow's feet... 😂

Oh yes, they were a sensory nightmare for me. What in the world were they made of??:

My inner 12 year old boy loves this one even though I LOVE cauliflower:

I actually was talking to Brad about this! It's like they got the generation wrong. Brad is 10 years old than me and his was filled with Susans and Nancys and Karens but everyone I knew in the late 70s and early 80s were Jennifer/Jenn/Jenny, Michelle, Laura/Laurie:

This:

That's why I call my monthly free online art classes, "Playdates!" 

If you've never heard of this, it's called "justice sensitivity" and is really normal in neurodivergent folks.

HOW TO WORK WITH ME:

For the month of January, I'm offering $25 off hourly coaching, so just $100! With horses, without horses, in-person, or online, your choice.

Neurofeedback This is a great time of year to treat yourself to a tune up and train your brain to calm and ease. The most common response I hear about neurofeedback is, "I'm so much less reactive!" It really does smooth out the sharp spikes. Super helpful if the world feels harsh and spiky to you too right now. $70/hr

Reiki Another way to facilitate relaxation, calm, healing. In the summer an option is outside in the herd. This time of year, it's always in my office where it's warm :-) $90/hr

And of course Women's Circles! The Wednesday circle has a waiting list, I will add you to it if you'd like.

And art classes! Hmmm...I need yet another website redo. I don't think I have a specific page for this. Online or in-person, group or individual. Send me an email and let's talk!

This is an AI-free newsletter! While I love to use AI to help me figure out a piece of software I don't understand, my intention is to use it to help me with the drudgery, never with writing, art, creation. All em dashes are intentional and mine, I was using them way before ChatGPT was a twinkle in Sam Altman's eye :-)
