visions from a steep hill

#justiceforgeorgefloyd I feel joy from today’s verdict, and I also know that this is only the beginning. There is more to come and much more work to be done. For me, I’m going to pay attention to my way of being and my experiences, and be grateful and humble in this first step towards world healing. Justice is not a destination, but a process, as I see it. Thank you to @shirien.creates for your beautiful art. #georgefloyd #justice #peace #america #maninthemirror https://www.instagram.com/p/CN6hjuxhLhZ/?igshid=yvup1au0v9v9

I loved watching the @urbangateways #ug60bdaybash tonight! It was a beautiful show with excellent performances. Fun fact: My mom was a Cultural Arts Coordinator Liaison with UG back in the 80s. The arts are important to me as it’s what makes me a well-rounded, alive person. I have found myself, loved myself, and have been able to express through drumming, music, and more. Blessings and many more birthdays to everyone at Urban Gateways for your amazing work! Cheers! 🥂 🥳 #arts #urbangateways #music #art #dance #guitar #chicago https://www.instagram.com/p/CKnIHGTlkyI/?igshid=wzhwepoel4yk

Vendor spotlight: @epicgourmetpopcorn of Indiana is the bees’ knees of #popcorn delights. They truly #makeitepic with their awesome combinations, community engagement, and values. My mom and I had a socially-distant tasting this past weekend; this is some of the lightest, freshest, tastiest popcorn I’ve ever had. Oh, and I’m on a no-corn diet, but let me tell you, it is worth it!! Thank you to the wonderful @laurenczaja for this gift! Friends, follow Epic today and put your orders in! 🍿 😍 #epicpopcorn #smallbusiness #love #loveit https://www.instagram.com/p/CJHBt04lDaeoqFYaCod8B0oahFXeaHHatE--ZM0/?igshid=1jz5zfxfe5wsn

#alextrebek #restinpeace #legend #jeopardy #gameshows #weloveyoualex | Alex was one of the reasons I had so many happy memories as a child, and as an adult. His dry wit, classy demeanor, and masterful hosting were a strong impression on me. Alex could take any show and make it his, and make it good. And, he was consistent. I’m sad that the world has lost another legend, and I am grateful for all the joy he has brought us. Rest In peace, and thank you. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHVtefTh-PGlnuVa451sMdz34STYPQZ973eAWQ0/?igshid=16sv50fvch7fb

#wrightliving This week in my Year Of More class, I became more aware of my soft addictions—the seemingly harmless habits and choices I make that numb me from my feelings and life that I want. Independence Day for me is about feeling joy through a sense of freedom. I release the need for worry, rumination, overthinking, and other things. What will you release—and add in—for your life today? #wrightfoundation #freedom #independence #waynedyer #inspiration #inspiratonalquotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CCRSilfFbB4/?igshid=dojylitdhre8
