Little Bits Of Light
WEE bit late today, apologies, I’ve been fighting headaches from jaw pain and it’s the worst. Worry not, I’ve a root canal scheduled, but I do have to wait almost two weeks to get it. How nice, to worry about that, and the expense of it, for 2 full weeks hahaha. Anyway, onto some link novocaine to help numb the pain.
Wanna help me pay for the root canal I’m dreading?! I thought you might…here’s a fun way to do so, whilst also getting some rad goodies in the process:
Here’s the scoop, kids:
6 Breakthroughs In The Science Of….Farts - Yes, I’m a child, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t click the link when I saw this article, and I was actually interested in 6 random pieces of information about none other than the most humorous of all bodily functions. Who knew? Now you do.
11 Euphemisms For The F Word - No, not fart. The other F word. If you’re like me, and it’s one of your all time favorite words, you’ll probably know that there are certain times or certain companies that the full strength word isn’t welcomed. I still say it anyway, because I was born filterless, but if you’re Not like me and you want to clean it up, just a touch, here are 11 ways to do so. Personal fave: “Kaycuff.”
Are You Open, or Guarded? Take This Quiz To Find Out - I love a quiz, me, and a quiz that tells you some insight that you probably already knew, but needed more explicitly spelled out for you, EVEN BETTER. This quiz aims to show ya just how open, or guarded, you might be, without even knowing it. What did YOUR results say? Or are you too guarded to share?
Develop Good Writing Routines - And, why you should. This article was a great little piece on how to develop better writing rituals, and what that can do for you. I’ve never had a problem with needing writing rituals or routines, but I’m asked at least 2 times a day by someone how they can improve. Now I’ll send them this link…and go back to writing.
50 Things To Do In 50 States - You don’t have to fly internationally to do something rad this summer, oh no, you can stay right here in these United States…if you’re from out of country, then yes, you do have to fly here. If you do, and make it to Montana, first coffee is on us. Believe it. (And to Maureen and Jim, I’m sorry we didn’t actually buy your coffee, you beat us to it, but I hope the sparkle water on the deck made up for it)
Nothing Compares 2 U by Sinèad O’Connor - What a heartbreaking loss, and I cannot imagine the pain she endured along the way. She will be so missed, what a FEROCIOUS woman, what a voice, what a gentle spirit. I imagine she’s back already, and I cannot wait to find what beauty her soul creates this time around.
Typewriter Series Silliness - Man I struggle at being normal. Here’s me reading you poems.

Just made it back to dry land after cruising for the last week...missed my Signal Fire family!
I feel like Just Guarded is a healthy boundary at the moment. Putting myself centre stage to fundraise to give sight this August for Fred's Run (150kms of movement with the goal of at least $500) is already a lot for my bandwith.
My Gymmie Dreamhouse & my kindred spirits & my kin know. And, I'm already 40% there for fundraising. Because I slung some ink & uploaded my wee face to our phenomenal Gym Manager, and I'm in the newsletter.
It seems being the Golden Girl for the Push-up Challenge led me to steer my tiny vessel out a wee further.
P.S. frozen baby peas for yer jaw. worked a treat when all my wisdom teeth left the building.
we can thank my former piano teacher for such an amazeballs rec.
and, yes to any & all meds thrown your way, and be okay with being a bit loopy.
