it’s funny. i’m sure it’s snowing somewhere in texas but not much here! my experience with the dallas weatherman is they over project, they over-forecast anything to do with snow. and then conversely, when they don’t expect it, we get our wintry white day. in dallas, schools close, business stops. or now with remote work common in the post covid world, we go to the screen with an extra cup of morning brew. i like a goji tea with chocolate LMNT salts and morning blend of mushrooms.
i’m going to the screen. i’m not going to explain as much as share with you a personal practice based in my own body and mind today. this is personal. thanks for being here.
