This month’s intention is:May: Yes Just Yes: Time to be bold. Jump in. Dare to go all in and see what happens. What happens if you say yes?!Well ok, art is working great so far and so is food. Maybe this was about work? but unclear what it really means.

One way I will leap this week: so I would still love to journal and find some way back to art. but I also would love to find a painter for the house and make the appointment for my real id. Those are my current big to dos.
One boundary I will set this week: i am working on this advice my kids’ principal gave a few years ago. that when someone i love is on a roller coaster, i don’t get on the roller coaster with them. instead i wait at the bottom with a plate of cookies. so i am going to work on not feeling other people’s feelings and not being responsible for their feelings either. being there for them without making it about me.
