North Georgia is so beautiful in the fall. It’s a crime the season is so short.

I have accomplished most of the goals I had for the year, so it’s time to start planning for next year. So far I’m putting a 4 day hike on the AT and then hiking the West Highland Way on the list.
Bye Cali. You have captured my heart more than usual this trip. Hope to return soon. 🥰
Now whenever I listen to Sade I think about the muse I met this year. Muse magic is something else. 😊
“When the lad for longing sighs, Mute and dull of cheer and pale, If at death’s own door he lies, Maiden, you can heal his ail.”
Meal prepping for the week. Lean ground beef + bison, roasted potatoes. And protein oat bars for snack time.
Throw kindness around like confetti🩷
Starting the day with my mango, banana, peanut butter, flax seed, Greek yogurt, hemp seed, soy milk smoothie. So delicious. Ooos sorry I dribbled a little on the front. 🫢
I also have a lot of empathy for anyone struggling with self image. And just now I'm starting to understand more about the power of non-judgmentalism and the space it opens for kindness. Those two are a powerful force. And when two meet and have it operating in both directions... WOW.
Basically I think I'm just more confident in general, and more comfortable with my appearance. The start of this year I was not happy with what I saw in the mirror. Now I can still see there is room for improvement (always will be), but I can also appreciate the progress.
I don't know if I'm just inspired or completely lost my mind and spiraling into self absorption, but I've been taking more selfies lately. And NSFW ones, which I have no idea why. Harmless fun I guess. Maybe this is normal when you are exposed to so many beautiful and photogenic people here. :/
Burning man is still on my bucket list. I’ve watched so many videos about it.

Some 1:1 therapy this week and today some nature therapy. Feeling good.
Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
When you’re done being sad about Dolly, go out there and carry on her legacy of kindness, grace, and generosity. That’s what she would want.
I should be getting back to the Bay Area this year. It can’t come soon enough. But I also need to visit Seattle. For reasons…
May those you meet leave your company feeling happier, lighter, and better for having known you❤️
If I get a Time Machine I’m going back and saving Steve Irwin. Then I am going to see a Blondie concert in their prime.
Almost scary how quick 2 hours can go by when you are having fun. 😅
Really well written article. Thanks @raffishpaddy.bsky.social for writing it!
PaddyFromNY@raffishpaddy.bsky.social · 4mo agoCome to think of it, here's my own (old but still true) prose account of paying for it from my experience, in case it's interesting: paper.wf/soakbell/wha... (Would thet I could draw!)
Words posted by one of my friends but completely agree with them: My life is improved, made more vibrant and colorful, by the lgbtq people in my life. Thank you for you! I love you and want you to be whole and happy!
Hygiene Tips for Men who want to be hotter 😚~ 🧵 1. Embrace learning from women and from queer people - including queer men. If this is uncomfortable for you to do bc of your internalized homophobia - cool. Good to realize, great moment to address that!!
