It does, but I don’t have any social anxiety or anxiety disorders. So that probably makes a difference.

Done and shared with feminist friends!

I’m guessing International Relations. ;)

I move around a lot, and I ‘friend date.’ If you’ve met a person relatively recently, in a relatively random way and thought “this person is kinda cool” — ask them out on a date. Be really dorky and clear about it — “i really like you, I want to get to know you better. Can you go to coffee on Thursday at 3 or Friday…

I’m sorry that they’re not respecting your space and that you’re feeling such anxiety over it! Take good care of yourself, best you can.

That is such wonderful news! Congratulations and well done!

sounds like a lovely tradition. :)

thank you for posting this. i’ll suggest it to my friend’s church in texas as well — they’re a megachurch and they do a lot of good (actually not so preachy) stuff. She’d be all over this!

that’s a great frame and suits the image well. I really love it!

This might be gardening instead of crafting, but I’m super proud of myself for making a wholly recycled worm compost herb planter.

I hope you stay safe and. . . i’m hearing about this from you, too. Disturbing. I’ll start talking to my people and spreading the word of what’s happening.

I think this might be the best summer ever! I had an amazing week with work, friends, relaxation, great weather, and food.

NZ is the best. I immigrated here and love it. Every morning I wake up to that noisy Tui and thank the stars of the southern cross.

What I fail to get, though, is how so many people are behind them and how elegant and classy they are. I’m like. . . what now?

I hope you find a buyer quickly. We put our St joseph’s right side up on the north corner of the yard facing the house. And, you leave him there to bless the house continually after you’re gone.

I am so glad that, for now anyway, you’re feeling more stable and looking for the moments to be present with each other now, and not feel overwhelmed.

bamboo, my week has been *insanely* good.

She’s such a cutie and I love “my” Catalina updates! :)

On Thursday, which was yesterday for me (as it’s Friday evening in NZ as I write this), I had a very normal day all around.

Same. I really love the show! I’m so excited to see more!
