protection ritual

I did a protection ritual.  Ming helped me–thank you, sweetheart!  Lately I’ve been working on boundaries, and I have a lot of new ideas. boundaries Just like no one is allowed to touch me who I don’t give consent to, no one is allowed to take my energy, time, love, support, or attention who I… Read More »

policy

“How was your time?” I asked.  That’s a question I ask Ming a lot, as if we had a policy.  He goes out into the world and does a thing, then returns to me.  I’m curious what happened. “It was good,” he said.  “Someone got really mad at me for not getting out of her… Read More »

I love hippies

“What do you like best about being a hippie?” I asked Ming.  I love hippies. “I’m not a hippie!” he said. “Look in the mirror!” I said.  “You have the hairdo!  What’s your favorite thing?  My favorite thing is the fresh sauerkraut.” “Food culture,” Ming said. “Like Sandor Katz?” I asked. “Food culture.”  Oh, he… Read More »
