Paint & Sip & Pinky Links #1
If you are new to my community, welcome! Please know that we often go quite deep in our conversations and I am a bit of a swear bear. :) Our discussion are rarely "safe for work" or "little ears". My intention for this gathering is to give us all space to be in the realm of the real with one another as inspired by this poem that floated across my socials and galvanized me into acting to make a sense of connection a reality.
Text reads: "Same. I still haven't figured out how to keep my shower floor clean or make morning smoothies or respond to stress calmly. Same, same, same my friends tell me, a love note of sorts. Maybe the world doesn't need to cut down on carbs or make more money or waste less time. Maybe instead it needs us to reach those who feel alone in their messy homes or difficult relationships or unresolved issues. To impress less and connect more. Tho share one simple message: Same. Same, same, same. @hannahrowrites
Yes, my house is a mess. No, I'm not okay. Yes, I should be doing other more productive things. Yes, I still have laryngitis and it's been making "showing up" really difficult. But this? This is what I need. How about you?
Links Pinkies!
