The car is banged up from working the pride fest, veg fests and vegan fairs and farmers markets in town.
I do have to say that of all the festivals I worked - the pride is my favorite. Had the most beautiful energy and so much love in the air! It really is a magical experience.
I did used to love attending my yearly jazz festival and my reggae fest on the Detroit River. Havenāt done any in a while. Any fest with good music, happy chilled vibes is a good time for me
It really is great funā¦!!!
Love that I live so close to Detroitā¦ always something fun happening on the river. The festivals start in spring and end on labor day. You should plan to check it out sometime as I do remember them being a wonderful experience
Grateful for Jesus
Grateful for Christmas this year. Iām sober. My daughter is coming back into my life more and more. Putting in the work and becoming my authentic self again has been showing up in beautiful ways.
Iām grateful for getting through another Christmas day with my Autism family (yes a few of us are Autistic including me). We made it through laughter, noise, being overwhelmed by so much going on, itchy labels, attempting to cook more than one item at a time that half of us wont even touch, tears, tantrums, meltdowns, hugs, the huge change of routine, random burnout naps and amazing new soft pajamas which have really annoying cuffs that iām itching to cut off with scissors. But iām once again soberā¦ i feel loved, I wrapped presents, i was presentā¦ and I love my family. I no longer need alcohol to help me through the issues I face. I accept who I am and everything that comes with that.
Iām grateful you stopped by Willow. Grateful you shared your Christmas and got through it sober. Your Christmas brought a big grinning smile to my exhausted face from all the excitement of our Christmas with a toddler. Merry Christmas

Iām grateful yesterday was lovely. I cooked a nice meal, maybe the start of a new tradition. A far away friend called and we chatted 2 hours. Grateful for friends sharing their life with me. Iām grateful my recently widdowed friend has a peaceful, good time these days. We talk every day.
Iām grateful for plenty of naps. For relaxing. For nice neighbours. For beautiful sunshine. For fumigating. For the new mattresses, my sleep has improved markedly. Iām grateful for no nightmares recently
Iām grateful that Iām happy with my Christmas tree, so much to look at, meditate on bling & beauty. Iām grateful I think about an incident while decorating it. It was like a message from the universe how to let go the remaining feelings toward my ex. Or about the necessity to let go. Very powerful. A bit disturbing. One of the christmas balls I bought for him was involved and is broken in shards. It was strange.
