this (the past few) week at rackers co: pt 5
Coast trip reset. Journal Excerpt: The ocean really makes you feel alive. I sat on the sand and read for a while and had the thought: this. This is what I want my life to look like. Living slow. Being by the ocean. Coming home to a cup of tea and lighting some incense and…

this week at rackers co: pt 4
A shower thought (that wasn’t really a shower thought, more a ‘washing face’ thought): I can be so critical of my own face without makeup, especially when I’m tired and my skin has broken out. But I never look at my sisters and think they look bad in any way? I know their faces so…

rackers’ life tips: part 32
1. Be nice to service staff. What do you have to gain from being an asshole to someone who is serving your food? Even if they have made a mistake, remember they are human; forcing your bad day onto theirs only makes both of yours worse. 2. The reason you know what you know now…

this week at rackers co: pt 3
This week has been confusing. It started well, with the New Moon — I did a ritual, set some intentions, meditated & felt amazing. But then, I felt… lost. I think I’m still feeling the fresh grief from losing Harley, but there’s just something else that’s been… off. I have spent days after each other,…

this week at rackers co: pt 2

There’s nothing like loss and grief to throw out your intention to set routines; so this is the one I’ll keep for now,…

on your pet dying

this week at rackers co: pt 1
Here is some information about my life you may or may not find interesting: The latest I stayed up this week was 6am. I sat up all night watching New Girl, creating the tarot designs, and… playing candy crush. While eating roll ups and drinking bulk tea. I am simultaneously an old woman and still…

a period of simply existing
It is the end of the day, and how much have I achieved today? Not much, to tell you the truth. I am in a period of simply existing. Not a period of transformation, not any growth; there is no romance, no bouts of inspiration, not even working particularly hard. I have indulged in leisure.…

moments of reflection
The sound of the rain patters down, hitting the tiles on the roof and trickling onto the grass. The taste of tea lingers on my tongue from an earlier cup. I want to make another one, but the groove of my body against my pillows has curled into perfection. Faint rumbles of thunder in the…
