morning, 9:30 am

Greetings Thinkers,

Wednesday, the day after a New Moon 🌑. Did you do anything with the beginnings energy?

Mid July. I've been saying it's mid July for a few days now, but it really is mid July now. Almost exactly the center of 31 days in the month.

Soon it will be August,
soon it will be Fall,
soon it will be Christmas in December

times flies as a stupid thing to say..

An expansion on yesterday: taking the leap before it will work, is what makes it work - IS LIKE - "leap and the net will appear!

IF "the "safer" way is the slow way" - if safe is slow, what is fast? And is that (always) true?

If I don't do the June review soon, the July one will be due too.

I have received 2 really nice affirming messages recently. They are these:

“being friends with you has helped me to think of things differently! I feel like I choose my words better and put more thought into things. Which is a good thing! “

"I just wanted to mention that to you as without Kymology and you taking a chance on me to try a 30 day challenge with you and your work I’m not sure if I’d have grown into the man I’m growing to be. So thank you so freaking much!"

The countdown to Christmas: 10 days (PINK) Christmas in July

Maybe this is a short one. Maybe there's "nothing" (worthwhile) here.

Maybe sometimes slow is safe and short is powerful.

I think it's time to wash the beach out of my hair.

What does this have to do with you today?

word of the day

Palimpsest (PAL-imps-est)

​
Something that bears the visible traces of its earlier forms while becoming something new.

Originally, a palimpsest was a manuscript whose original writing had been scraped away so the parchment could be reused, yet the old words remained faintly visible beneath the new.

Today it can be things like:

• a city built over centuries
• an old house with many renovations
• a landscape shaped by history
• a person whose past is still present beneath who they've become - everyone!?

What would Idgie (pronounced Eddie )and Ouiser (pronounced Weezie) do?

Things you could know about me:

Newest added to oldest

I am not the person who gives "responsible advice" ref: D190: taking the leap before it will work, IS what makes it work​

revere what you say

I don't know. I continue to wonder about life and the meaning of it and if I'm doing it right, spending it well. These are normal and regular thoughts for me... nothing to feel concern for me about.

when did I become a person with a "good dog"?

I don't understand or like people who don't look for sea shells at the beach

I LIKE rules and I value integrity, authenticity, honesty.

ever green perennial Kym

I make things bigger than they are, and I use them.

Camp burritos and dog food are the most labor intensive things I make

you should never say "just my thoughts" about your thoughts

how is a process, what is a thing

To be close to me in this life, you run the risk of having your life be part of me and I exhibit about mine. The folks who are close, are close in part because they know that and accept it.

I have never been CAGEY about my age and I don't like people who are.

Old plants are special. plants given to you from people you love, plants that out live those people. God help me when one of those plants dies.

"man made" doesn't bother me

I will do spider surgery before I "put them out of their misery"

I'd rather be dirty or wash out of a mixing bowl than shower somewhere else (sorry Mom)

I was not a whiskey drinker. I don't know when I become a whiskey drinker. I have hated whiskey and all dark liquor all my life. Now I drink old fashioneds. Who have I become?

You will often find me "wrapping my head around that good thought"

vague. I don't like vague. don't be vague with me, I won't be vague with you. at least not on purpose.

defines WEIGHT as: the quality of the quantity of matter you are carrying

I like to antagonize common sayings and typical perspectives

Everything is a choice and authenticity is supreme.

Reflecting on my life whether it's looking back at the last month or doing a "this time last year" thing, shorter or longer time frames, doing this at all is a reflection of who I am. That I care to consider who I am, who I have been, what I have done, so that I may use all of that to inform what I do and who I am in the present and the future. That I reflect is a reflection of who I am.

running with turtles

I know, I'm a horror to say anything to some times..

when all my identities are umbrellas

I love a good double negative!

Plan in quotes because I'm so averse to "plans" and "goals".

I chunk out my days, to the minute, in Gcal.

I love to putter so if it becomes "I puttered my life away" so be it.

I'm not a cherry picker, of anything. I like to use things that exist rather than start from new or scratch.

I am an ostrich about politics, news, current events, pop culture and media.

I dislike clichés and most positive quotes, under thought things meant well, commonly said quotes and phrases.

Don't tell me what to do, don't ask me "how how are you?" or say "I'm sorry for your loss" unless you want to annoy me or you really, really mean it. And know it can be hard to tell which it is, and I'm wrong not infrequently.

30 Day Challenges are my thing. I have a tendency to make things every day things. This is where 30 Day Challenges come from!

Like yourself. Know yourself. Express that self.
Think about things. Don't feel like you have to dance in the rain to have a good life.
Don't have a plan. Stand for what matters. Read when you want to. Don't smile when people tell you to.
Don't have goal. Tend plants. Leave marks. Do what you say. Change YOUR world. And your mind!
Be a friend and a daughter and a partner and a sister and a dog mom.
In a world full of "accept who you are" messages, don't forget to be a "work on that" kind of person.
Don't put kindness above truth. Try new things. Be honest. Live by ideals. Have some whimsy.
What you do for money matters; strive to like what you do for money. (job)
If you have a hobby you need a life.
Use what attracts you and let what you care about matter!

Peepers are my favorite sound.

Triangles are my favorite shape.

54 is my number.

I never need to talk but thank you for offering to listen.

If you say I'm overthinking it, I'll probably say you are underthinkig it.

why I do what I do: I want to "make you" THINK. I don't mind if your experience and perception of me "makes you" be more mindful, use your brain more, "think too much" or consider something more carefully, or differently, or moves you to be (more) thoughtful or intentional or authentic.

I am a hugger and I mean my hugs.

I don't like to have scheduled things. The days where I have something scheduled are a certain category of feeling. I'm not very fond of pre sign ups, committing to things in advance externally. My favorite days are the ones I call "blank slate days". Nothing scheduled, nothing formally EXTERNALLY committed (I am full of internal commitment and ideas all the time, so no day is truly uncommitted).

use the moons

I love rules and I am a ruler follower.

I like a cup to fill.

So which is it Kym. Do you like wide open clean slate no commitment things?
Or you "need" want and thrive in containers, defined spaces, rules and limits?

Geez what a walking contradiction. A biggest when to which Witch!?

SOC life - what you allow in, turns into what you spend your time on. Can you see it?

Tomb raider hot is my favorite kind of girl hot, my favorite hot to be.
