And how is it going there?

Question: What is a belief that you hold with that many other people disagree?

How many of you go bra-less? I am so curious! Most of my life I have had a love-hate relationship with bras. Some days they are a necessity (family visits, lingerie shoots, hot summer boob sweat.. gross!) but most of the time, I skip them. I enjoy how most clothing feels on bare skin. I love the way my breasts sound against my ribcage when I run down the stairs, like someone politely clapping for a performance they did not enjoy. I like how unassuming they can be when they are not hoisted to full mast and strapped in. I like carrying around their weight, just like I enjoy carrying around the rest of my body. I certainly do not miss buying $80 bras that look like deep cereal bowls. When I nod vigorously, my boobs nod along in agreement. When I wave at someone in a crowd, they wave with me. As I move through life, there is always a part of me that is dancing. 💕💕

Been having a hard week. If you follow our sanctuary page @onalaskafarmsanctuary , you know that we lost Luna this week. The days are getting darker in the PNW and we are working endlessly on trying to winterize the barn and the stalls before the rain starts. Every night I go to bed, stressing about how much work needs to be accomplished. How do you cope with the darker days? I have been spending a lot more time next to my fireplace.

"Everything changes when you begin to love yourself. You no longer send out energy of desperation or need the to be filled by the outside You become a powerful source within yourself that attracts better. The more you love who you are, the less you seek validation and approval."

What is the most desirable trait another person can possess (in your own opinion)?

I read something today that said, “there’s a difference between being happy, and being distracted from sadness.” - As the days get shorter and grayer.. we lose some of those “distractions from sadness”. Adventures, sunshine, free time, picnics, walks, flowers, porch swings, farmers markets.. all sorts of things. - I think when the seasons change, our inner light beckons us to take great care and thought into the shape our souls are in. This photograph was taken on one of the rare sunny days of October. I think about how much has changed in 2020, and I hope to embrace this season where a few of my favorite things are dusted off and I can get a clearer view through the soul window. #effyourbeautystandards

It is October!!! What is your favorite scary movie!!?

How do you like the view? 🍑

Do you ever feel like you have lived multiple lives? I have been so many people in the last 36 years ... Growing up in NY state with an alcoholic father who died when I was 18. Partying in college so hard that I nearly died myself. Working four jobs to volunteer in Africa/Guatemala before the age of 20. Getting into nude modeling and traveling the US in my mustang convertible (how many of you followed my blogspot back then?) - Moving to Austin Texas with my longterm boyfriend. Moving back to NY when things went south. Rochester. Dating an ex-con alcoholic emotionally abusive boyfriend that nearly destroyed me (What a lifetime ago) - My RV trip with Stella. Getting married and moving to Washington State to start a farm sanctuary.... Every few years, I feel like a completely different person. But sort of like a better version of the person that I was five years prior... but never quite where I want to be.

Anyone else playing Pokemon Go to get through the pandemic... ? I, finally made it to level 39! One more level to go! (Wellllll... unless they bump it to 50... haha...)
