I guess I’ll start here

When you want to do so many things in this life…

I’m feeling the richness of life big time right now, in so many ways. The pain, the pleasure, the despair, the gratitude, the hopelessness, the faith, the nervousness, the excitement…

I’m especially feeling this vastness in terms of the struggle of wanting to do so many things in this life! That’s a big reason why I’m really looking forward to this colostomy. As much as I know it will be an adjustment, I’m looking forward to having MORE TIME in my dad-to-day for the shit I want to do — less shit = more shit? Or rather, less time shitting = more time for cooler shit? You know what I mean.

I’ve been through a lot these last twelve years with a disability — good, bad, ugly, beautiful, and everything in-between — and I think it’s important to honor that. And right now, that honoring feels like/looks like trimming the fat. I mean prioritizing my time by following where my heart really wants to be. Being more choosy and authentic with what feels right and good — for my time, my work, my relationships, everything. Saying no to the enticing new project or idea or fun shiny object and staying committed to my goals and truest heart’s desires. But that’s not easy when I have so much passion for life!

There’s so much I want to do. Alas, I can’t do it all at the same time. We just can’t do it all. So for now, I’m just starting here, with this post, cuz this feels right. No editing, no big grand thing, just a simple lil love note to you: Hey friend.

Sometimes that’s all we can do — slow the fuck down and follow our hearts. Start the next thing and then follow through. Follow it til the end. And then begin again. Be real with what we really want to fucking do. Ugh. More of that, please.

Anyway, I just wanted to pop on with a little update and a little ask of you….

what is the title of my upcoming podcast?! HELP.
