Happy Birthday to my guy @ten_of_cups_healing We laughed a lot today, he opened gifts and packages; we took a road trip with the dogs, went to a crystal & gem show, and ate some awesome vegan food. Great day to celebrate Ben! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu0Y_RyHKKc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mmh4qqvg7ed3

Ben, the yellow door, our house, our map, Phil’s cone, our life. Messy/clean; bright/dim; chaotic/lazy; always just the way we want it. @ten_of_cups_healing #mylove #lobsters #pincepinceloblob #yellowdoor #pawa #portangeles https://www.instagram.com/p/BuQShtCHI1e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zjuj3t526ftl

From a couple weeks back when I was at one of my happy places, on the 6th floor at Sherwin. Spent many early mornings in this stairwell putting myself back together after my dad died. Running stairs, push ups against the hand rails, jumping jacks & monster jacks, throwing punches. Getting sweaty and out of my head, then walking the 30 feet back home to meditate under our loft bed. Really good memories. Reminds me, now, that I have the tools in my 🧰 plus support from lots of amazing people #grateful #gratitude #sherwinonthelake #rogerspark https://www.instagram.com/p/BuF5vtTH5NB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=795bcpxsm93p

We made pierogi today. I grew up eating and loving them, but had never made them from scratch before. It was really fulfilling to have this experience. I can imagine my grandparents’ grandparents preparing pierogi. I picture a timeline of my family members stretching dough around filings: a long line of Kawczynskis and Oleksys and Jewiarzes and Zimas and others. A long line of ancestors, stretching back in time and simultaneously forward; now including me. I find myself wishing I’d had this experience with my Mom and my Grandma; though I never did, the process made me feel closer to them both and to my family and myself. . I also felt some ease come over me today. Since July, the month we moved into our house and my Mom’s health took a turn, I have done very little cooking. I do enjoy it, but my fears and emotions prevented me from staying present, relaxing, and allowing for joy. Today I felt the sting soften as I eased into this three-hour-long process. Slowly, slowly, it melted away, at least for today. . I also cannot say enough about the amazing man I share my life and home with @ten_of_cups_healing. From patiently participating in the three-store shopping spree as I searched for the perfect ingredients, to filling and crimping pierogi even after he discovered it’s NOT his favorite thing, he is the most supportive person I could have dreamed I would spend my days with. . Now for kołaczki! . #pierogi #mcm #family #cooking #polishheritage https://www.instagram.com/p/BuBGZbVgBjV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e4iuzmc74zyk

Today we celebrate 13 years of togetherness! So many adventures, walks in the sun and the snow, challenging times and effortlessly joyful times. Through it all we have been together; learned to communicate through our vulnerability; shared victories and defeats. Looking toward the future is easy to do with you by my side, @ten_of_cups_healing 🦞❤️🦞 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4zjJQg8pU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=icbrc43mlktl

Last Monday Ben and I took a day trip to Olympia. We visited the #mimamounds natural area and walked the trails around, between, and over these natural mounds. We had fun making innuendos about mounds 😉😆 and taking photos of our silliness. After our walk, we headed to the city, where we walked through antique shops and a bookstore. We had a late lunch at @well80brewhouse, where the beer is made with water from Well #80, one of Olympia’s 90 artesian wells. #olympia #well80 #dateday #yum #beer https://www.instagram.com/p/BtIKFM-nfVe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kbqvrxqc1ghm
