In #India, our Ride Pal helped an #elderly woman with both #digital and physical #shopping! The elderly is #grateful to have a Ride Pal, who thinks beyond giving #rides. Our Ride Pal wrote a #blog, illustrated it with #pictures, and created a lovely #video!

Ohhh just saw that I've just hit 200 followers on Mastodon. Thank you to everyone who has supported my work, and continues to support and encourage me.
I'd love to work on building a community on here vs on corporate social media like Instagram, where most my followers are at the moment.
33 years ago, the Monday after Easter, my baby boy had heart surgery. I wrote sometime after, “I was only 21 years old myself and felt my life would most certainly end if he didn’t wake from surgery. I barely knew him, really, but I knew my life relied upon his.”
A pic of him then.
Appreciate everyone of you who post pix of flowers, nature, rainbows, cats, puppies, the moon, sunset.
Grateful to see all kinds of text-based posts about supporting inclusive community and diversity.
I love you, people of the Fediverse
Thank you for making the world a beautiful place with the uniqueness and kindness of you
I'm incredibly #grateful that honing my patience & being unwilling to date anyone who didn't meet my basic quality companion standards for years, has finally paid off.
I'd been devalued, dehumanized & traumatized by NT white guy partners (and their super colonial/bigoted family members) in the past & didn't want to make same personal choice errors for companionship in my present life. Especially after recovering from those past relationship traumas, regaining my self worth & promising to myself that I'd never discount myself for anyone, ever again. I promised myself that I'd wait & be open to a new intimate companionship, only if the person met my basic standards, is an open & honest communicator, isn't an ableist, respects who I am fully & completely & understands/supports my lifelong commitment to being an active humanitarian - with deep needs to contribute to community works.
I feel my patience & personal adherence to my core values, has rewarded me with an amazing connection to a fellow creative & big hearted NT mixed Indigenous man, who always tells me how much he appreciates my presence in his life & how he loves all my quirks/oddities. I feel truly valued, just for who I am, quirks n all
I am glowing with joyful feelings

Ow my.....
I'm already an emotional wreck. I try to keep thinking positive, to keep focus on the good times that we may still be able to share...
But that little voice in the back of my head keeps telling me that "this may be the last time that...". And I *know* I should not go there... But I'm just so scared of losing her...
And now, slowly, some support is coming in. and every notification brings me to tears...
partially sad tears because I know the time is running out... Also, partially happy tears , because people care for me and Arwen. People think we're important enough to get this support... However sad the reasons may be...
I can never thank you with my words. I feel they will always be insufficient... If that makes sense...
But we're at €290/€400 now, and it means that I, hopefully, will be able to bring her back home, after her soul has crossed the bridge...
As I mentioned in the update on GoFundMe, it would be amazing is we could raise enough to also make a start for the costs for the ash-pendant. But... Getting her the private cremation and urn, and taking her home, those will be most pressing, once she's passed... When I've got the ashes, I can save for the ash-pendant to wear her close to my heart forever....
Thanks ever so much for all your support! Arwen and I really appreciate all you do for us...
I'll try to keep sharing all the Arwen pics I can, both here and on Pixelfed. Because she is worth it...
For those that want to make me so some more, the link to the GoFundMe is https://www.gofundme.com/f/AlwaysArwen
Whether as a monastic or a layperson, one of the things we’re trying to do in Buddhist practice is to bring forth wholesome states of mind. And gratitude is one of them...
Not particularly photogenic this dinner and leftovers from earlier in the week cooks - but no less glorious for Sat #Dinner
(Store) Paratha with S. #Indian esque black pepper and heavy on curry leaves spicy chicken liver masala and some hearty comforting spinach lamb #curry
Sated and #grateful for this decadence
The trees are changing, autumn is whizzing by.
This afternoon walk was a treat before the main treat for me. Catching this view made it all the more special.
I'm heading to see my son in Australia, he turns 20 on Monday
Life Update
Hey everyone! Just wanted to take a moment to share a little life update. Lately, things have been busy but exciting! I’ve been working on a few personal projects that have been challenging but rewarding. It feels so good to be making progress and learning along the way!.
Thank you all for the continued support and positive vibes—it truly means the world to me. Can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes me!
In Loving Memory of Bear
On November 3, 2024, our lives were forever changed when our sweet minx kitten, Bear, joined our family. She brought endless joy and love, but recently faced a sudden illness that led to a heartbreaking goodbye.
We are seeking support to cover her farewell expenses. If able, please click the link to donate. Your kindness means the world to us.

My mother marched today, just like she did in 1969. #Grateful for my flower children parents.
