Last week, I had to take a beat because my blood pressure was higher than usual. I don’t think my body has ever felt so viscerally anxious before, it was like my entire system was preparing for war.

We are living in the strangest, bleakest, and scariest timeline. I am constantly filled with a mixture of rage and sadness and dread.

Today I needed to be reminded that there are good things happening too. Not in a naive “choose joy” type of way, more in a “there are actually reasons to keep going” kind of way.

It does help that I have clients who are doing cool shit, which means I get to work on meaningful stuff even when it feels like the world is crumbling.

I wanted to share what some of them are up to, and also a glimmer list of things that have brought me some joy, relief, or pleasure over the last month.
