For the first time, I went to my public library to read the newspaper. They had Sunday's copy of the San Francisco Chronicle. What a difference between what I see online and journalism. No click bait, no pop-up. I learn so much more about local news and what is happening around me than I ever do online. I encourage everyone to support their local library by reading print news.

Idk who needs to hear this, but #AI doesn't exist in #chatGPT or any #LLM. Its a Large Language Model. A mad-lib machine. There is no intelligence, it cannot hallucinate, and there cannot be any emotional connection with them. They are strictly objects with no sentience, experience, understanding, or emotional capacity. AI IS JUST A FANCY PET ROCK. Never make the mistake of falling for the carefully crafted #propaganda that this demon #tech as anything more than a fancy pet rock.

Shabbat Shalom שבת שלום

As the week winds down, here’s your gentle reminder to pause.

Not because everything is done — but because you deserve a moment to breathe.

To unplug.

To be present.

To trade doing for just being.

Whether you light candles, take a walk, share a meal, or sit quietly with your thoughts — let this be your reset.

A time to reconnect with yourself, your people, and what truly matters.

Wishing you peace, calm, and a full heart this weekend.

Shabbat Shalom to all who could use a little stillness and light.

Already planning hike no3!! Can’t wait to get back out into nature, take in the beauty around me and feel the absolute peace and calm that comes from being away from it all. If you don’t already, get yourself out in the middle of nowhere and go hiking for a few hours there is nothing like it. All the stress, anxiety, fear and darkness just melt away.
Give your mental health a good pampering and get out there!!! #mentalwellbeing #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthrecovery #nature #naturetherapy🍃 #naturetherapyforsoul #hiking #hikingadventures #hikingtherapy #beauty #greatoutdoors #unplug #destress #unwind

If you’re struggling to disconnect and protect your peace right now… my article on radical rest might help.

When you’re chronically ill you must learn to rest. You either do it voluntarily, or the body will find a way to force you.

Give yourself grace if this doesn’t come naturally. I get it. I wouldn’t be posting this tonight if I was “good” at radical rest.

All we can do is try our best, recognize the warning signs of an impending crash, and give ourselves the kindness and love we need to try again:
