i can't thank you enough for this post today. Living "inside the beltway" with friends and family consumed and distraught with what is going on each day in our government has left me exhausted and drained. Your lovely and so wise perspective of looking for the bigger, brighter, incandescent and eternal beauties in life throws me a lifeline, one that I shall attempt to hang on to going forward. Starlight. Well done, Adreanna yet again.
Yes to this! You have such a gorgeous way of playing with perspective. It really inspires me. I found myself trying to write from this place as well this week. I want joy and beauty and examples of what’s already working and inspiring and whole. Also because I felt broken health-wise recently and needed the balm. I’m wishing you a speedy recovery. ❤️🩹
Hi Wendy! I just looked and your email address has been disabled. In the Substack app, "email disabled" means that you have unsubscribed from a publication and will no longer receive email newsletters from that publication. I think if you go to your settings, you can easily remedy it though! Please let me know if you have any trouble and I’ll try and help!
This was an incredibly useful post! Such a practical and easily accessible method of shifting perspective. I'm going to tuck this away for moments when I feel myself getting overwhelmed and sucked into the seductive pull of many fingers pointing at the "not working." Thank you for sharing this, and I hope you have a speedy recovery.
THAT was an amazing “game”- really-wow and thank you. From the galaxy, almost all suffering seems equally dispensed like a thin wispy transparent cloud- which is not actually touching any one but blanketing all. Zooming back into my kitchen (my favorite happy place) I see a floor in desperate need of a good wash and instead of “ugh” it made me laugh as I’d definitely have ignored it just one more day. What I focus on, on that which I expend my energy, is a choice. It is easy to choose self and sadness right? Because that is the way of the word ..and in doing so… this is what I would project back into the world… choosing a different perspective, (sitting in the clouds eating cheese for example) I can see tons of meaningful and helpful ways -helping-encouraging - giving to others is so selfish - it’s strange as a selfish society we’re not better at it. I (and my cheese) will spend more time on the cloud, and it makes sense to me that that in turn will make the magnifying glass perspective - well, I will be grateful for a kitchen floor, (and a toilet to lay in front of w this bug I have) .. . *I am grateful for the fever that really enhanced this space travel - ❤️ 😂 Seriously encouraging write/exercise. Thank you! For doing the laundry!

Hi Team, I stopped getting notices in my email of your articles. Any idea why? I have notifications turned on. Thanks so much.
