For over ten years, my voicemail asks you to leave For over ten years, my voicemail asks you to leave your favorite color.

Before that, I reminded people to live every week like it was shark week.

Anyway. Happy Answer The Phone Like Buddy The Elf Day!

Leave your favorite color at the beep…

BEEP ☎️

I used to think community was bullshit. Now I know it’s everything.”

Autumn names something important here:

Self-love doesn’t stick when it lives alone.
It sticks when you see yourself reflected in others who feel like you.

Not quieter or smaller.
Just more YOU.
I’m literally here to act weird on purpose for the I’m literally here to act weird on purpose for the collective good.

Sometimes feeling good isn’t logical.
It’s pink. It’s glittery.
It involves a horse.

🧠
Your nervous system doesn’t care if it makes sense.
It cares if you feel alive.

🌈
If a mildly unhinged idea brings relief, joy, or a full-body yes…
that might be the medicine.

💫🤠
Follow the sparkle. Trust the weird.
You have to feel good to do good.

They told me it couldn’t be done. Never give up. They told me it couldn’t be done. Never give up.
Since today is Wreaths Across America Day, I wante Since today is Wreaths Across America Day, I wanted to share the wreath I made for Kennedy Kreiger’s Festival Of Trees! @kennedykriegerinstitute 

I had never even heard of this event.

When my friend, Kendall, @cloudydaychronicles heard about my #11KActs of Merriment project, she thought this would be a good opportunity for an act, and she was right!

Going to this festival is a family tradition for her. And she not only told me about the festival, but gave me a wreath to decorate!

I decorated mine with tiny toys, in an I Spy theme.

I loved going early to drop it off, to see all the other Merriment Makers hard at work. Setting up hundreds of trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses, vendor booths, games, and more!

What a fun event that all goes to charity.

When I went to visit on Sunday, my wreath (and EVERY OTHER except 4! had sold!). And I also passed out almost 100 candy canes with cute notes to strangers (scroll back to find that video).

Can’t wait till next year!

💖🌈 The opposite of trauma is having fun. I believ 💖🌈 The opposite of trauma is having fun.

I believe that deeply.
AND.
I also believe this year proved something important.

🎄 Last year, this was me at the Mayor’s Christmas Parade.

Rainbow outfit.
Merriment goodies.
A sign that said “Take a picture with me!”
Pure joyful chaos.
📸💥 Very fun. Very aligned. Very me.

This year…

❄️🦵🏽💢 I didn’t go.
Endometriosis pain.
An angry knee injury.
Ice on the ground.
A body that very clearly said: not this time.

And listening to that?
💭 That was also having fun.

Just quieter, gentler, less visible.

Because if you burn yourself out chasing something that looks fun on paper…
😵‍💫📝 it’s not actually fun.

If you’re doing “fun” as a trauma response to people-pleasing…
🚨💔 that’s not fun either.

My motto still stands:
🦄 you have to FEEL good to DO good.

And sometimes feeling good means showing up loudly.

🎉🎺 Sometimes it means staying home, resting, and disappointing the imaginary committee in your head.

🛋️🫖 Both count.

That said… 🌱💛 if you’re in a season of healing, processing, rebuilding…

Fun STILL matters.

Not forced fun.
Not performative fun.
But the kind that nourishes your nervous system.
🧠💫

We need:

🎨 things that are actively enjoyable
🫂 things that connect us to other humans
🌊 things that don’t require bracing

And if you’re thinking,
“Wait… I actually don’t know what’s fun for me anymore.”

😬🤷‍♀️

You’re not broken. You’re just out of practice.
I’ve been there too.

Which is why I made a tiny, gentle class called Jumpstart Your Joy that helps you remember what feels good for you, using real research and zero shame.

It lives inside Positive Pulse with a whole library of supportive resources… 📚
but only if and when it feels like an exhale to explore.

No rush.
No proving.
No pushing.

🌈💗 Fun is medicine.

Rest is medicine.
Listening is medicine.
You get to choose what having fun looks like this season.

🦝💗🛶🐈‍⬛🖥️ today’s reminder from the unhinged self- 🦝💗🛶🐈‍⬛🖥️
 today’s reminder from the unhinged self-love department:

you do not need to become a better version of yourself to deserve support. 🫶 

you can:⤵️
 🐾 gain your own trust like a stray cat
🫀 apologize to your body for treating it like a machine
🛶 imagine your inner critic yelling from a sinking canoe
🧸 do something comforting and refuse to call it “coping”
🧠 replace “what’s wrong with me?” with “what happened to me?”
📆 rename today “low expectations appreciation day”
🕰️ forgive the imaginary life plan you invented at 19
💻 take one deep breath like you’re rebooting an ancient computer 

this post starts silly on purpose 🤡 
 because sometimes humor is how safety sneaks in

Self-Love 101 exists for people who are:⤵️

 😴 tired of “optimizing”
🌀 done with autopilot
🎨 craving softness, color, and meaning
🌱 still curious
🔥 still warm
👀 still here 

it’s not a “love yourself harder” course.
 it’s a slow re-introduction.

🪑☕🫂 

10 gentle lessons. 
 guest voices from all over the world. 🌍 
 a huge playful resource vault. 📚 
 no urgency. no pressure. no fixing.

🪴🧠🎨 
just a place to practice being on your own side again.

ps. if you bought this years ago on Teachable, check your email.
you can access the updated version free on Mighty Networks 💌 

if this made your body go “oh… that feels right,”
 that’s the invitation. 🚪

I don’t build work around job titles (although I h I don’t build work around job titles (although I have to admit that I like the one I made up for myself: Merriment Maker).

I build it around conversations, ideas, and shared moments that actually do something to/for people. 🗣️

My career has been shaped by curiosity 🐇, pattern-noticing 🔍, and a deep willingness to pivot the moment something stops feeling true in my body.

If it gets stale, beige, or hollow… I’m out. 🚪

I like bringing beauty, play, and color 🌈 into practical spaces.

I like when work feels good to make and good to pass along. 🎨🤲

If it doesn’t create relief, warmth, or a small internal exhale… I’m not interested.

The roles I naturally step into look like:

🌱 guide

🎤 translator

🪟 window-opener

🫧 vibe-shifter

Sometimes that change happens in one quiet conversation.

Sometimes it ripples through a whole community.

Both count. 💛🌍
