Gotta say, the image of laxative-fed turtles crapping plastic reminded me of scooping rainbow balloon shard laden dog poop after our kids’ 8th birthday water balloon wars. Beauty’s in the eye of the de-pooper, I guess. Not really a balloon fan anymore though.

I really struggle with balloons. And party favor bags. Sometimes I feel like Debbie Downer as a mom. What's next, no candy at Halloween?! I've considered it...but never had the heart for that one...

Had to pull over my car to let this one roll over me. It’s still a’washing. Thank you Becca. For seeing, and feeling, and singing with me. Really feel like I’m sitting next to you today, bodies cupped by sand, eyes on that bending blue horizon. 🩵

Would've been great to sit with you while reading this. What a stunning book. I'm so grateful you dared to share. Fathoms. That about says it.

Maybe some chai in July? I'll be (mostly) in Leadville.
