After the week I've had, this weekend was all about healing - going to my friend's fashion show to see some poetry and acting skits, waffle garden afterwards (I hereby refuse to call it anything else), Little Mermaid on Saturday and now today, finally at home, sipping on my Sunday mocktail concoction, listening to some lo-fi, reading poetry and ( Read more... )

 I have a bunch of comments to make, but I'll keep it spoiler-free. The movie brought back nostalgic tears because I had flashbacks of going to see the animated version when I was 7 with my sister. And then the ending got me teary eyed too because it merged both sides of Ariel's world, and I was like 'oh wow, that's like if Long Island and Virginia ( Read more... )

 after not finding any other way to get back there after 10 years of living in Virginia, this might be my way back. I had to move down here because there's no jobs on Long Island anymore, but have been homesick for years because I left my friends/family back there. Now with telehealth, there's like this magic portal that can open and I can live ( Read more... )

1. AI Image Creators - I'm kind of fascinated by making tarot card designs on this thing. It's like everything that I've always been too unable to draw by my own hands I can just describe with words and put it out there so I can see it in full color. I know it's a bit unethical to use these image generators, or so I've been told, but I honestly am ( Read more... )

I discovered one of my favorite things about ChatGPT is you can give it a prompt and it just randomly RUNS with it and turns anything into whatever your imagination could think of. It's almost like that old machine (or was it an SNL skit) that could turn anything into a hotdog. Like they used to say on Letterman (I think it was Letterman-- it was ( Read more... )

The other thing that I did on my therapy outing (because my shadow work coach lives so far away that I have to make a whole day of it-- but it's cool because I really enjoy getting out there, going on a little day trip out to the more coastal part of Virginia and seeing some sights)-- but yeah, the other thing that I did on that day was to go to ( Read more... )

I really thought I was going to have to work to get all my CEUs done by June so I could renew my license. Turns out I don't have to do any CEUs for this first time renewing my LCSW, and as for my CSAC the training program my job me up for takes care of the 10 hours I have to do for that. I paid the money and I'm done renewing now. This is weird... ( Read more... )

So Kris has been sending letters to Chris and Chris is getting tired of it now. He is thinking of pressing charges for defamation of character because he's tired of getting harassed by her. I attempted to tell him that defamation of character needs to involve a third person, but he's seeing red on this and honestly, the more power to him. He's been ( Read more... )

I am continuing to try to get on top of my journaling. I promised I would write 20 minutes every day of this month, since last month was National Poetry Writing Month. This month is journaling month, but I started a week too late so here we are trying to catch up on all the days we missed...

I'm doing this by journaling with each tarot card, ( Read more... )

I'm currently feeling like my life is all about creativity these days. I just finished National Poetry Writing Month, I've been assimilated into the Slam Richmond poetry group and I started to really dive into my creative life last month. Maybe I've cut back on it a little more these days, since April wrapped up and that month is over.

I don't think ( Read more... )
