😳🫨😮😭 Me reading your experience at the pharmacy. Twilight zone/Seinfeld WILD!! I love that you were able to just lean into the absurdity of it all and laugh. Glad your fur baby’s ashes are finally home. 💞

When my mother first died I wore some of her ashes in a necklace. Some people thought it was morbid, but those people had never experienced a death of a close loved one. I told them, just wait...you’ll do weird shit too when the time comes.

As always, sending so much love to you and wishing you the most graceful grief journey. (And if it gets ugly, that’s wonderful too)

I really needed to hear this today. Early this morning I sat in a funk with two kids home from school from yet another cold virus and wanted nothing more than a moment of peace to dig into work. I was questioning how people successfully do the juggle of life in modern day. Then I opened your email. Now instead of negativity, I’m choosing to laugh at the absurdity of pink eye and parenthood and careers - and finding joy in the ride. Thank you.

OMG, Thing One and Thing Two. How oddly they handled it, but how sweet that they were waiting for you? The contents inside the package were fragile, and it makes me glad to hear that in their own way, they handled it with care.

Also, why does the Two of Pentacles remind me of a scene from 1994 classic, Little Rascals, when Buckwheat sings about having two pickles? https://youtu.be/s_0HMmQLgY4?si=cUI4cgRh7nwSdz06. Buckwheat definitely embraces the chaos and humor!

Hell yeah to a sense of humour and finding it even in the hardest times is SO key! This post inspired me to write down some quotes on my list of funny memories. It's the little, ridiculous moments that I love to look back on. Caroline, you have a gift, thanks for sharing it!

Another that tugs at all the emotions in one issue. ♥️ Also chuckling as my example of balance in my IG AMA today was my New Year’s Eve epsom salt bath with a glass of champagne - toxins in, toxins out.

Sending oodles of love to you always, dear friend. Glad Mia is safe and sound with you. 🙏🏻
